SAEL Industries has completed its 600 MW solar power project in Andhra Pradesh within 11 months and is set to formally inaugurate it on 2026. The event will be attended by Andhra Pradesh Minister for HRD, IT & Electronics and RTG Nara Lokesh, according to a company statement.
It comprises SAEL Solar MHP1 and SAEL Solar MHP2 in the YSR Kadapa district and forms part of SAEL’s broader renewable energy investment in Andhra Pradesh. The integrated solar facility spans more than 2,400 acres and has been developed with an investment of nearly Rs. 3,000 crore.
The two 300 MW projects — operated by SAEL Solar MHP1 Private Limited and SAEL Solar MHP2 Private Limited — achieved commercial operations earlier this year, with MHP1 commissioned on 30 January 2026 and MHP2 on 13 March 2026.
The facility deploys more than 12 lakh TOPCon bifacial solar modules, the majority of which were assembled at SAEL’s manufacturing facilities in Punjab and Rajasthan, reflecting the company’s integrated manufacturing and project execution capabilities.
Adding To SAEL’s 8,299 MWp Solar And BESS Portfolio
SAEL Industries, one of India’s leading integrated renewable energy companies, currently has a portfolio of 8,299 MWp of contracted and awarded solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity across India, along with 3,625 MW of solar module assembly capacity and 164.9 MW of agri waste-to-energy operations. SAEL is also exploring additional investments in Andhra Pradesh, including agri waste-to-energy projects and future renewable energy expansion opportunities.
The clean energy generated from the projects will feed directly into the national grid under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Solar Energy Corporation of India, further reinforcing Andhra Pradesh’s emergence as a major clean energy supplier to the country. The development has also created long-term economic opportunities for farmers in the region through structured land lease arrangements spanning nearly 25 years, providing stable and predictable income streams for rural families.
The projects were executed under SAEL’s integrated EPC and O&M framework and were supported through close coordination with the Government of Andhra Pradesh and local authorities in areas including land-use facilitation, clearances, and grid interconnection.
Developing Solar Projects Under AP Integrated Clean Energy Policy
The inauguration assumes significance as Andhra Pradesh accelerates the implementation of its Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, under which the state aims to attract investments worth Rs. 10 lakh crore across renewable energy, energy storage, green hydrogen, transmission, and manufacturing ecosystems by 2029.
The inauguration event will also include Andhra Pradesh Energy Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar, district officials, and senior leadership from SAEL Industries. During the ceremony, leaders are expected to highlight the state’s broader vision of positioning Andhra Pradesh as a major clean energy hub under its Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, aiming to attract large-scale investments across renewable energy and related sectors.
