Tata Power Commissions 500 MW Solar Project In Rajasthan

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Company, has commissioned a 500 MW solar power project in Rajasthan. Developed by TPREL, the project represents the largest single solar project commissioned by the company to date and one of the most expansive renewable energy developments in India.

All 2.4 million solar modules used in the project have been manufactured by TP Solar Limited at its Tirunelveli facility, underscoring Tata Power’s focus on domestic manufacturing and the advancement of India’s self-reliance in clean energy technologies.

Located across the Bhadla and Kanasar Bhatiyan sites in Bikaner district, Rajasthan, the project has been designed to deliver reliable power across multiple states. Of the total capacity, 500 MW has been allocated to Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited, 300 MW to Jammu and Kashmir Power Limited, and 200 MW to Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited. In its first year of operation, the project is expected to generate around 2,454.84 million units of green electricity and offset nearly 1.74 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, supporting India’s energy demand and national decarbonisation targets.

The project faced challenging execution conditions, including extreme desert temperatures dropping to as low as 3°C in winter, compounded by difficult terrain and restricted vehicle movement. Despite these constraints, TPREL ensured timely and safe completion through the deployment of advanced DC-compatible and mono bifacial DCR modules, precision ramming techniques and high-performance inverters engineered for harsh operating environments.

Beyond its technical achievements, the project has delivered meaningful socio-economic benefits in the region. Over 300 locally sourced workers were trained and employed during construction, while more than 25 local vendors were engaged, supporting livelihoods and contributing to regional economic growth.

With this commissioning milestone, TPREL reinforces its position as a trusted engineering, procurement and construction partner for large-scale, multi-state solar developments. The company continues to play a key role in India’s clean energy transition, aligned with national goals of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.

Following the project’s commissioning, TPREL’s total renewable utility-scale capacity has reached 11.6 GW, including 4.9 GW executed as a third-party EPC. The company currently has a total power generation capacity of 5.8 GW, comprising 4.7 GW of solar and 1.1 GW of wind energy. Additionally, 5.8 GW of projects are under various stages of implementation and are expected to be completed in phases over the next three to 24 months.
