Additionally, the company is prioritizing solar power generation, with 224 MW already installed and the remaining 76 MW to be completed by June. Another 150 MW of solar plants are planned for Bhupalpally and Mandamarri, expected to be operational by 2024, generating 230 million units annually.

In total, Singareni Collieries aims to generate 2,800 MW of thermal electricity, 550 MW of solar electricity, and 3,350 MW of electricity in the next five years.
