Avaada Group, a diversified energy conglomerate, has marked a defining moment in the nation’s clean energy journey. The Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji laid the foundation stone of Avaada’s 1560 MWp Solar plus 2500 MWh Storage (BESS) project at Pugal and also inaugurated Avaada’s 200 MW (282 MWp) solar power project at Shri Dungargarh, Bikaner, Rajasthan.
Together, these two projects represent a combined investment of more than ₹9,200 crore in Rajasthan’s renewable energy sector, reinforcing the State’s leadership as the hub of India’s green energy revolution.
Project Details
The 200 MW (282 MWp) Shri Dungargarh Solar Project spread over 777 acres in Bikaner will supply power to Rajasthan discoms thereby ensuring availability of cleaner and affordable power supply to the people of the State. It will be powered by Avaada Electro’s ALMM-certified, Make in India TOPCon N-Type bifacial solar PV modules, reflecting a strong emphasis on domestic manufacturing and technological innovation.
The 1560 MWp Solar plus 2500 MWh BESS Project at Pugal in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan, spread over 4000 acres in Pugal. The project, once complete, will aid in delivering solar power beyond solar hours by storing it in the Battery Energy Storage (BESS). It will enhance grid reliability and deliver firm green power. The plant will host BESS capacity installation with the state-of-the-art technology to be powered by Avaada Electro’s ALMM certified, Make in India TOPCon N-Type bifacial solar PV modules.
Both the projects are estimated to generate over 1600 green jobs in the State. The projects will cut down more than 20 lakh tons of CO₂ emissions annually and help conserve approximately 600 lakh litres of water annually through robotic cleaning.
On the occasion, Shri Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister of New & Renewable Energy, Government of India said, “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, India has emerged as a global frontrunner in clean energy transition. The foundation stone of Avaada Group’s 1,560 MWp Solar Project integrated with a 2,500 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Bikaner marks a historic milestone in this journey. This project, the largest BESS in India till date, will deliver round-the-clock green power, enhance grid resilience, and set new benchmarks for the nation’s energy security.”
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shri Bhajan Lal Sharma ji, said, “I am delighted to see the MoU signed during Rising Rajasthan being converted into an operational project in less than a year.
