NTPC had issued the tender for O&M for the 260 MW solar project at the Bhadla Solar Park in December 2021.

The solar project, spread over 525.39 acres, comprises four sections of 65 MW each. It was initially installed and commissioned by Jakson Group, TATA Power Solar, and Vikram Solar. The project was commissioned on March 25, 2017.
