Andhra Pradesh Approves ₹158 Billion Clean Energy Projects Including Major Tata Power Investment
Andhra Pradesh government approved ₹158 billion worth of renewable energy projects at its 14th SIPB meeting, including Tata Power's ₹66.75 billion ingot and wafer plant, Websol Energy's ₹35.38 billion solar manufacturing facility, and Shirdi Sai Electrical's ₹55.71 billion transformer manufacturing unit. These approvals align with national ALMM policies and complement ReNew's earlier announced ₹600 billion investment in the state.

The Andhra Pradesh government has approved renewable energy projects worth ₹158 billion ($1.75 billion) at the 14th State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) meeting, marking a significant boost to the state's clean energy manufacturing sector. These renewable energy approvals formed part of total investment clearances worth ₹193.91 billion ($2.15 billion) during the meeting.
Major Investment Approvals
The government cleared three significant manufacturing projects that will strengthen the state's position in the renewable energy value chain:
| Company | Investment | Project Details | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tata Power | ₹66.75 billion (~$740 million) | 10 GW ingot and wafer manufacturing plant | Nellore |
| Websol Energy System | ₹35.38 billion (~$392 million) | 4 GW integrated solar module and cell manufacturing plant | Naidupeta |
| Shirdi Sai Electrical | ₹55.71 billion (~$617.8 million) | Transformer component and wind-mast manufacturing facility | Kadapa |
Strategic Alignment with National Policy
Tata Power 's ingot and wafer manufacturing plant comes at a strategic time as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has proposed an Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM-III) for ingots and wafers. Under the proposed framework, all projects under ALMM's purview must source modules from ALMM List-I, which must use solar cells from ALMM List-II, and these cells must use wafers from ALMM List-III.
Additional Clean Energy Investments
Beyond the SIPB approvals, the state has attracted other major clean energy investments. In November 2025, ReNew announced plans to invest approximately ₹600 billion (~$6.65 billion) for multiple green energy projects in Andhra Pradesh. This investment will establish:
- 6 GW solar ingot-wafer manufacturing plant
- 2 GW pumped hydro project
- 3,000 kilotons-per-annum green ammonia facility
- 5 GW hybrid renewable energy projects (wind, solar, and battery storage)
Policy Framework Support
To facilitate clean energy project development, the Andhra Pradesh Energy Department has issued operational guidelines covering resource allocation, land allotment, grid connectivity, open access, banking facility, project migration, fees, and incentives under the Integrated Clean Energy Policy, 2024.
These approvals position Andhra Pradesh as a key manufacturing hub in India's renewable energy supply chain, particularly in the critical upstream segments of ingots, wafers, and solar cells.
