Jan 31, 2026
First phase of 1,200 MW solar park lifts NGEL’s commercial renewable capacity to 8,688.25 MW. NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC, has commenced commercial operations of the initial 210 MW capacity at its 1,200 MW Khavda-II Solar PV project located in Gujarat.
In a regulatory filing, the company stated that the first tranche of capacity from the Khavda-II project—being developed through NTPC Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of NGEL—has been declared commercially operational with effect from 00:00 hours on February 1, 2026.
Following this milestone, NGEL’s total commercial renewable energy capacity has increased to 8,688.25 MW. With the latest addition, the NTPC Group’s overall installed capacity stands at 87,665 MW, while its commercial capacity has reached 86,585 MW.
Recent project additions at Khavda and Bhadla
Earlier this week, NTPC Green Energy announced the commissioning of the 10th part capacity aggregating 130.47 MW under its 1,255 MW Khavda-I Solar PV project in Gujarat. Earlier in the month, the company had also operationalised the first 300 MW of its 500 MW Bhadla Solar PV project in Rajasthan.
In January 2026, the NTPC Group added nearly 404.68 MW of renewable capacity across Gujarat and Rajasthan. This included around 78 MW at NTPC’s Nokh Solar PV project in Rajasthan and 326.68 MW commissioned by NTPC Renewable Energy as part of the Khavda-I project in Gujarat.
Investment push to support 60 GW RE target
In July 2025, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved enhanced financial delegation to NTPC, expanding the investment limits applicable to Maharatna CPSEs. This enables NTPC Green Energy to invest in NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (REL) and other joint ventures or subsidiaries beyond the earlier cap of Rs7,500 crore, up to Rs20,000 crore.
The expanded investment mandate is aimed at supporting NTPC Group’s target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
