Solarworld Energy Solutions Limited has initiated legal proceedings against SJVN Green Energy Limited by filing an arbitration petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before the Delhi High Court on January 24, 2026. The petition concerns two solar projects totaling 360 MW capacity that the company is executing for SJVN Green Energy Limited.
Project Details and Dispute Background
The dispute centers around a 260 MW project and a 100 MW project being executed by Solarworld for SJVN Green Energy Limited. According to the company's disclosure, the projects have experienced significant delays due to SJVN's inability to timely complete its contractual obligations. The contract had been suspended by SJVN until December 2025, creating operational and financial challenges for Solarworld.
SJVN has now conditionally invoked the Performance Bank Guarantee, subject to its extension by Solarworld. Rather than extending the performance bank guarantees further, the company has sought relief from the Delhi High Court and requested the release of retention amounts and other dues.
