09 Dec 2025 CW Team

Orient Green Power Company has commissioned its first-ever solar power project through its subsidiary Delta Renewable Energy Pvt, marking a strategic expansion beyond its established wind energy operations. The company had earlier raised funds via a Rights Issue to develop a 25 MW AC solar project under Delta, with the first 7 MW AC unit now completed at Krishnasamudhram village in Tiruttani taluk, Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu.

The project received its service connection on 5 December 2025 and was fully commissioned a day later following procedural clearances. OGPCL stated that the milestone underscores its diversification strategy and strengthens its renewable energy portfolio by adding solar capacity to its mix.

Developed under the group captive model, the project will supply power to Delta’s captive shareholders, supporting current demand while enabling future customer expansion. The company noted that the addition of solar generation is expected to improve long-term revenue stability and enhance its competitive positioning in India’s clean-energy sector.

Delta is finalising land parcels for the remaining 18 MW AC capacity, with further updates to be issued as implementation progresses.
