NTPC Green Energy Limited has announced the commencement of commercial operations for 125 MW of capacity from its 500 MW Bhadla Solar PV Project located in Phalodi, Rajasthan. The development follows the receipt of the official commissioning certificate from the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd (RREC), confirming that the project segment has met all regulatory and technical requirements for commercial operation.
The newly commissioned 125 MW forms the second phase of the overall Bhadla solar project, which is being implemented by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited. According to regulatory disclosures, commercial operations for this phase began at midnight on 31 January 2026, marking another milestone in NTPC Green Energy’s expanding renewable portfolio.
Earlier in the month, 300 MW from the same project had already achieved commercial operation. With the addition of this second phase, the total commissioned capacity of the Bhadla Solar PV Project now stands at 425 MW, moving the project closer to its full planned capacity of 500 MW.
This latest capacity addition has also strengthened NTPC Green Energy Limited’s overall operational base. Following the commissioning, the commercial capacity of the NTPC Green Energy Group has increased to 8,688.25 MW, while the total installed renewable capacity, including solar and other renewable assets, has reached 8,813.25 MW. These figures reflect steady progress in scaling utility-scale renewable energy assets across multiple states.
The Bhadla Solar PV Project is among NTPC Green Energy’s flagship solar developments and forms part of India’s wider renewable energy expansion strategy. Located within one of the country’s most prominent solar zones, the project contributes to increasing clean power availability, supporting grid decarbonisation and reducing dependence on fossil-fuel-based generation. As additional capacity from the project moves toward commissioning, it is expected to further reinforce India’s large-scale solar deployment momentum.
