NTPC Green Energy has officially commenced commercial operations for an additional 66.18 MW of solar capacity at the Kalasar Solar Energy Project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. This update, effective as of October 10, 2026, represents the fourth tranche of a project that has already seen more than 235 MW completed. The Kalasar facility is a key part of a larger 650 MW solar initiative under the 500 MW Renewable Energy Management Centre Limited (REMCL) round-the-clock renewable energy program. With this addition, the total installed capacity of the NTPC Green Energy Group has increased from 11,262.51 MW to 11,328.69 MW.

This growth aligns with the company’s efforts to expand renewable energy sources and support India’s transition toward cleaner power. The parent company, NTPC Group, now maintains a total installed generation capacity of approximately 91,572 MW, which sustains its prominent role in the energy sector. The Kalasar Solar Energy Project is part of a strategy to increase the use of renewable energy, helping to meet rising demand while reducing the national reliance on fossil fuels. Solar power is central to this transition, and projects of this scale contribute to national goals for expanding renewable capacity and lowering carbon emissions.

By focusing on solar energy, NTPC Green Energy is building its operational capacity while supporting environmental sustainability and global clean energy initiatives. The project is also expected to provide economic benefits to the region, including the creation of new jobs. Looking to the future, the company intends to continue its expansion in the renewable sector, as the ongoing development of solar infrastructure is vital for achieving India’s renewable energy targets. As these initiatives progress, the company remains focused on improving energy security and supporting a sustainable energy future for the country.
