The company secured 750 MW / 3,000 MWh capacity—representing 50 per cent of the total allocation—through a competitive online bidding process.

The SJVN FDRE tender is a pioneering step in India’s energy transition, designed to deliver firm, dispatchable renewable power through hybrid and storage-based systems. The project marks a significant milestone in Reliance Power’s clean energy strategy and reaffirms its commitment to supporting India’s decarbonisation and sustainable growth goals.
