NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) has declared the commercial operation of a 50 MW solar capacity in Rajasthan, marking a new operational milestone for the company’s renewable energy portfolio.

The announcement concerns the fourth segment of the 300 MW solar component within a 200 MW Round The Clock (RTC) renewable energy project located in Rajasthan. The commercial operation status became effective from midnight on 2 October 2026.

NTPC Limited made the disclosure through a regulatory filing under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing was published as part of the company’s standard reporting obligations.

With this latest addition, NGEL’s commercial renewable energy capacity has increased, contributing further to the group’s overall operational assets. The new capacity forms part of a broader effort to expand renewable energy infrastructure in the region.

  • 50 MW solar capacity began commercial operation on 2 October 2026.

The 50 MW solar unit is part of a larger renewable project that aims to provide continuous power supply, known as Round The Clock (RTC) energy. This operational step follows previous phases of the project, which together comprise a 300 MW solar capacity.

According to the regulatory filing, the capacity increase is reflected in both NGEL’s and the NTPC group’s reported figures for installed and commercial assets. The update is included in the company’s official disclosures for stakeholders and regulators.
