Indian Masterminds Stories

NEW DELHI: NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), the renewable energy arm of India’s largest power producer NTPC Limited, has successfully commissioned a new 25 MW solar power project in Bhuj, Gujarat. The project, which became operational on September 27, 2025, is part of a larger 37.5 MW solar development under Ayana Renewable Power Four Private Limited, a subsidiary of Ayana Renewable Power Pvt. Ltd.

This latest addition marks a significant step in NGEL’s ongoing mission to rapidly expand its renewable energy portfolio across India, particularly focusing on regions with high solar potential. With this project, the group’s total commercial renewable capacity has reached an impressive 7,407.475 MW, up from 7,382.475 MW, further solidifying its position as a leader in India’s clean energy transition.

Strategic Partnership with ONGC for Renewable Growth

Ayana Renewable Power Four Private Limited is fully owned by ONGC NTPC Green Private Limited (ONGPL), a joint venture between NGEL and ONGC Green Limited, with equal 50:50 ownership. This partnership combines the strengths of two major public sector enterprises to accelerate renewable energy deployment in India.

The Bhuj solar project plays a crucial role in enhancing energy capacity in Gujarat, a state known for its abundant sunlight and strong support for renewable energy initiatives. This solar plant not only contributes clean, sustainable power to the grid but also helps reduce India’s reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions.

The new solar capacity in Bhuj will provide clean electricity to thousands of homes and industries, while simultaneously reducing environmental impact by cutting CO2 emissions. Such projects highlight the government and PSUs’ focus on sustainability and self-reliance in energy production.

Regulatory Compliance and Future Outlook

The company has informed the stock exchanges about this development in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, showcasing its commitment to transparency and governance.

Looking ahead, NTPC Green Energy plans to continue expanding its solar and renewable energy projects across India, with a focus on leveraging technology, strategic partnerships, and strong government support to meet growing energy demands sustainably.
