Torrent Green Energy Private Limited, a Torrent Group company and wholly owned subsidiary of Torrent Power Limited, has commissioned 322 MWp of ground-mounted, decentralized solar power projects across Nashik district in Maharashtra. The projects have been developed under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY) 2.0, the state’s initiative for feeder-level solarisation being implemented under Component-C of the Government of India’s PM-KUSUM scheme.
Spread across 50 locations and 14 talukas in Nashik district, the portfolio is among the most extensive and geographically diversified agricultural feeder solarisation projects undertaken under the MSKVY framework. The decentralized nature of the projects brings solar generation closer to agricultural power demand, while the electricity generated will be supplied to the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement.

Aligned with the Government of India’s agricultural solarization and energy self-reliance goals, the project brings clean energy generation closer to agricultural demand centres. Local solar plants powering rural feeders will ensure daytime electricity for farmers, enhance grid efficiency, reduce distribution losses and support sustainable agriculture. The successful execution of this complex project required coordinated development across multiple locations, involving resolving land issues, grid connectivity, local clearances, engineering excellence, and simultaneous construction activities.
“The project stands as a testimony to the collaborative efforts of MSEDCL, local administration, landowners, project partners, contractors, and the dedicated team of Torrent. This milestone reinforces Torrent’s commitment to supporting India’s clean energy transition while empowering the agricultural sector with reliable and sustainable daytime electricity supply”, said Jigish Mehta, Whole-Time Director of Torrent Power Ltd.
