Tata Power Renewables Commissions 752 MW Solar Power Projects

Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, commissioned 752 MW of solar projects in the first quarter of FY26. This marked a record quarterly addition, representing a 112 per cent increase from the 354 MW added in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

With this commissioning, the company’s total utility-scale operational capacity has reached 5.6 GW, comprising 4.6 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind power. TPREL also plans to commission an additional 1.7 GW of utility-owned capacity during FY26, along with 1 GW of third-party projects.

The company aims to scale its total operational capacity to 7.3 GW by the end of FY26, which will include 5.6 GW of solar and 1.7 GW of wind capacity. This growth has been driven by cost-efficient project execution, a robust supply chain, agile delivery, and strong vendor collaborations.

Tata Power was also among the largest contributors in the latest Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). It added 5,035 MW of new capacity, raising its total to 10,257 MW—making it the second-highest among listed firms. The company led in new capacity additions, contributing over 5 GW.

The surge in project commissioning during Q1 is attributed to the urgency of availing a full waiver on Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges, which was applicable for projects commissioned up to June 30. This waiver is set to decline to 75 per cent and will be phased out completely by 2028.

Earlier, Tata Power had projected the addition of 1,026 MW in renewable capacity for FY25, crossing the 1 GW milestone for the first time. In this context, the 752 MW added in Q1 FY26 underlines a strong start to the fiscal year.

Looking ahead, Tata Power aims to achieve 70 per cent of its energy portfolio from clean and green sources by 2030. This includes significant developments in pumped hydro projects, with work underway on the 1,000 MW Bhivpuri project and the 1,800 MW Shirawata project expected to begin later in the year. Additionally, construction on the 600 MW Khorlochhu project in Bhutan began in January, with completion targeted for 2029.
