The initiative aims to cover all government buildings across India by December 2025. Several central public sector enterprises, including SJVN, are responsible for deploying these solar systems.

Additionally, SJVN has issued a request for selection to develop a 375 MW/1,500 MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Uttar Pradesh under a build-own-operate model. The project benefits from central government funding support and involves design, financing, engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance of the BESS infrastructure.
