Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, has commissioned its 100 MW Group Captive Solar Project, TNGC-2, in Tamil Nadu. Located across Vellalankottai and Nalandhula villages in Kayathar, the project marks another step in TPREL’s efforts to expand its renewable energy portfolio and support the growing adoption of solar power in India.
With this commissioning, TPREL utility portfolio now grows to 12.3 GW and has surpassed the landmark 7 GW operational capacity milestone, reinforcing its position as a leading force in India’s clean energy transition.
The project will supply clean power to TP Solar Limited (40.625 MW), Tata Power’s solar manufacturing arm producing high-efficiency solar cells and modules, Tata Electronics Private Limited (53.125 MW), a leading electronics manufacturing company focused on semiconductors, precision engineering and advanced electronics and Tata Realty And Infrastructure Limited (6.25 MW), Tata Group’s real estate and infrastructure development company, reinforcing Tata Group Companies’ commitment to sustainable operations and accelerating India’s clean energy transition.
The project is designed to generate 240.63 million units (MUs) of clean electricity annually and is expected to offset approximately 1.5 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.
One of the key highlights of the project is the first-of-its-kind deployment of the Flexible Terrain Compatible (FTC) Single Axis Tracker technology in India for a Tata project. Equipped with 2,61,660 Mono PERC bifacial solar modules, the project is engineered to maximise energy generation while improving operational efficiency across varying terrain conditions.
The project highlights TPREL’s expertise in executing large-scale solar projects through engineering excellence, best-in-class construction practices and a steadfast focus on quality. The power generated will be transmitted through the Kayathar 400 kV Grid Substation (GSS), ensuring reliable evacuation and efficient delivery of renewable energy to the beneficiary companies.
The Company’s 7 GW operational capacity comprise more than 5.7 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind energy assets. Further strengthening its growth trajectory, Tata Power Renewable has an additional 5.3 GW under various stages of
