Hindustan Power, one of India’s leading integrated energy companies, has won a bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to develop a solar and battery energy storage project with a contracting capacity of 150 MW solar, requiring installation of about 300 MWp of solar and 300 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The project will be developed under the SECI–ISTS–XX tender. The project is designed for flexible deployment and can be set up at suitable locations across India.
The project was secured through a tariff-based competitive bidding process, followed by a successful e-Reverse Auction (e-RA) conducted on the ETS portal. It was awarded under SECI’s tender for ISTS-connected Solar PV projects with integrated Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
This development marks another step forward in Hindustan Power’s efforts to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio and contribute to India’s clean energy goals. The integration of solar generation with battery storage will enable enhanced grid reliability, improved power management during peak hours, and a more stable supply of clean energy.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power, said, “This project reflects our continuous commitment to advancing India’s transition toward a modern, flexible, and future-ready energy ecosystem. Our focus remains on building assets that deliver stability and efficiency, as we continue to build future-ready energy infrastructure that supports India’s clean-energy ambitions.”
By combining solar power with advanced storage, Hindustan Power continues to support national goals for sustainability, energy security, and the delivery of clean power. The company is currently developing clean-energy projects across various parts of India. It is commissioning a 435 MW solar project in Uttar Pradesh, a 100 MW solar power plant along with a state-of-the-art 100 MW battery-energy storage system in Assam, and a 120 MWh battery-storage project in Bihar. The company has also secured a new contract from SJVN Limited to build a 100 MW solar project paired with a 200 MWh battery-storage system. Together, these projects reflect Hindustan Power’s commitment to expanding India’s clean-energy footprint.
