NTPC Ltd has expanded its renewable energy footprint with the declaration of commercial operation date (COD) for a 64.76 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Khavda, Gujarat. The facility, part of the larger 225 MW GSECL RE Park, was commissioned by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a step-down subsidiary of NTPC Limited through NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL). The COD was effective from 00:00 hrs on July 24, 2026. This expansion reinforces the company's strategy to diversify its power generation mix towards renewable sources, contributing directly to the group's overall capacity growth.
The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Ritu Arora, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of NTPC Limited, submitted the filing on July 23, 2026. Separately, Deepak Charuvil Sankunni, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of NTPC Green Energy Limited, confirmed the operational status of the asset. The project is located within the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) Renewable Energy Park, a designated zone for large-scale solar installations.
Capacity Impact
The commissioning of this initial phase significantly updates the capacity metrics for both the green energy subsidiary and the parent conglomerate. Prior to this addition, the NTPC Green Energy Limited group reported a commercial capacity of 10,721.80 MW. With the integration of the 64.76 MW Khavda unit, the total installed capacity for the NGEL group rises to 10,786.56 MW. At the consolidated level, the NTPC group's total installed capacity now stands at 91,030 MW, while the group's total commercial capacity is recorded at 89,950 MW. These figures reflect the cumulative output of all thermal, hydro, and renewable assets under the NTPC umbrella.

Project Details
The 64.76 MW unit represents the first phase of the 225 MW GSECL RE Park, Khavda Solar PV Project. NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, which is wholly owned by NTPC Green Energy Limited, executed the development and commissioning of this segment. The location in Khavda, Gujarat, is strategic due to the region's high solar irradiance and established grid infrastructure, facilitating efficient power evacuation.
What the Numbers Show
The addition of 64.76 MW constitutes a steady increment to the NTPC Green Energy Limited portfolio, increasing its installed base by approximately 0.6%. The distinction between installed capacity (91,030 MW) and commercial capacity (89,950 MW) at the group level indicates that approximately 1,080 MW of assets are currently under construction or in the pre-commercial phase, highlighting ongoing capital expenditure and future growth potential across the entire conglomerate.

How will the remaining phases of the 225 MW GSECL RE Park impact NTPC Green Energy's revenue projections and market share in Gujarat's renewable sector?
Given the 1,080 MW gap between installed and commercial capacity, what is the expected timeline for these assets to reach COD and contribute to cash flows?
Will NTPC pursue similar large-scale solar park integrations in other high-irradiance states to replicate the Khavda model's efficiency?
