PM Modi Inaugurates Avaada’s 280 MW Solar Project In Gujarat

25 Sep 2025 CW Team

The electricity will be supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd., strengthening the state’s renewable energy mix and providing affordable power to residents, particularly farmers. The project is expected to enhance agricultural productivity by ensuring daytime power for irrigation, reducing reliance on night-time supply and improving efficiency. It will also support grid stability, lower the subsidy burden, and cut dependence on costlier power during peak demand.

Alongside the inauguration, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for Avaada’s 100 MW solar project in Vadodara district. Spread over 350 acres, with an investment of Rs 4 billion, it is being developed by Avaada GJ Solar and is scheduled for commissioning by April 2026.

Environmentally, the Surendranagar project is expected to offset nearly 596,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually and conserve 112 million litres of water each year through robotic module cleaning systems. The Vadodara facility is projected to offset around 213,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually and conserve close to 40 million litres of water through similar technology.

Avaada has also launched CSR programmes linked to the Surendranagar project, including free tuition classes, computer labs, cybersecurity workshops, healthcare camps, and skill development initiatives for women.

Vineet Mittal, chairman of Avaada Group, said: “The inauguration of our 280 MW project at Surendranagar by the Hon’ble Prime Minister is a proud moment for us and reinforces our commitment to delivering clean, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions to every Indian.”

Avaada’s portfolio extends across renewable power generation, solar module manufacturing, green hydrogen and derivatives, battery storage, pumped hydro, and green data centres.
