NTPC brings online 180 MW of solar capacity, boosting renewables
Verified article - details checked for accuracy.
NTPC has added 180 MW of solar capacity, pushing its renewable footprint higher and moving toward its 30 % clean‑energy target.
- Bhadla Solar PV in Rajasthan came online with the final 75 MW tranche on 25 Mar 2026, and Khavda‑II Solar PV in Gujarat added a 105 MW fifth tranche on 29 Mar 2026.
- Group‑wide installed capacity now stands at 88,889 MW, with commercial capacity at 87,809 MW.
- The new solar output will feed existing power‑purchase agreements and feed‑in tariffs, generating incremental revenue in the next quarterly results and likely improving NTPC’s ESG rating, which could lower its cost of capital.
- The additions support NTPC’s goal of reaching roughly 30 % renewable generation by 2030, reducing reliance on thermal plants and cushioning against fuel‑price volatility.
- Risks include weather‑dependent output, possible tariff or subsidy changes, and the technical challenge of integrating the new assets.
