Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a leading player in India’s renewable energy sector and a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has successfully commissioned SJVN Limited’s landmark 1 GW (1,000 MW AC / 1,400 MWp DC) DCR Solar project, the largest ever delivered by TPREL and one of India’s most significant renewable milestones.
All 2.4 million modules were manufactured domestically at Tata Power’s TP Solar Limited facility in Tirunelveli, underscoring the company’s commitment to India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and promoting national self-reliance in clean energy technologies.
Spread across the Bandarwala and Karnisar Bhatiyan sites in Bikaner, Rajasthan, the project supplies clean power to multiple states — 500 MW to Rajasthan Urja Vikas & IT Services Limited (RUVITL), 300 MW to Jammu & Kashmir Power Limited (JKPL), and 200 MW to Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL).
In its first year, the project is expected to generate 2,454.84 million units of green electricity and offset 1.74 million tonnes of CO₂, supporting India’s decarbonization and renewable expansion goals. Despite operating under extreme conditions with temperatures from 50°C to 3°C and challenging terrain, TPREL delivered the project safely and on schedule, leveraging advanced DCR-compliant cells, mono bifacial modules, precision ramming, and heat-resistant inverters.
Beyond engineering success, the project has had a strong socio-economic impact, employing over 300 local workers and partnering with 25 regional vendors, stimulating skills, livelihoods, and regional growth. With this milestone, TPREL reinforces its leadership as a trusted EPC and renewable energy partner, aligning with India’s mission to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.
TPREL’s total renewable capacity now stands at 11.6 GW, including 4.9 GW executed as third-party EPC. Its operational portfolio includes 5.8 GW of owned projects (4.7 GW solar and 1.1 GW wind), with an additional 5.8 GW under implementation.
