Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited commissioned a 72.5 MW captive solar project in Kalasar, Bikaner, Rajasthan on August 27, 2026. The facility supplies green energy to Tata Steel Limited through TP Vardhman Surya Limited, a subsidiary of TPREL.
The project is expected to generate 166 MUs of green energy annually, offsetting approximately 1,18,856 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. It deploys 1,71,360 solar modules manufactured by TP Solar Limited.
Capacity Expansion
With this commissioning, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity reached 12.3 GW. Of this total:
- 7 GW is operational, comprising 5.7 GW of solar and 1.3 GW of wind capacity.
- 5.3 GW is under implementation, including 2.2 GW of solar and 3.1 GW of wind projects.
The under-construction capacity is expected to be commissioned in phases over the next 6-24 months.
What the Numbers Show
The operational mix reveals a heavy reliance on solar assets, which constitute roughly 81% of the 7 GW operational portfolio (5.7 GW solar vs 1.3 GW wind). This concentration aligns with the current project’s focus on solar generation for industrial decarbonization.
Corporate Context
The Tata Power Company Limited maintains a diversified portfolio with total operational and under-construction capacity surpassing 26 GW. This includes approximately 17.7 GW of clean and green energy capacity and around 8.8 GW of thermal generation capacity. The company serves over 13 million customers across its distribution businesses.
