NTPC Green Energy (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC, has announced the commencement of commercial operations of a 12.5 MW solar capacity at Bhuj, Gujarat. This capacity is part of a total 37.5 MW solar project being developed by Ayana Renewable Power Four, a subsidiary of Ayana Renewable Power.

The newly operational capacity commenced commercial operations on October 17, 2025.

Ayana Renewable Power is a wholly owned subsidiary of ONGC NTPC Green, a joint venture between Oil and Natural Gas Corporation and NTPC.

Following this addition, NGEL’s total commercial capacity stands at 7,407.475 MW. Additionally, NGEL Group’s total installed capacity increased to 7,419.975 MW.

NGEL said it currently has 34 commissioned projects and 38 more under execution. Its renewable energy installed capacity has now reached 3.6 GW.

The company is also executing renewable and hydro projects with a combined capacity exceeding 11 GW, while an additional 20 GW of projects are in various stages of tendering.

Recently, NGEL commissioned 100 MW of renewable energy capacity of IRCON Renewable Power’s (IRPL) 500 MW project at the Pavagada Solar Park in Karnataka. IRPL’s parent company, Ircon International, had won the 500 MW capacity at the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency’s 2021 auction to set up 5 GW grid-connected solar projects.

In August this year, NGEL issued an expression of interest for engineering, procurement, and construction services to set up 5 MW ground-mounted solar projects with a 4 MW/12 MWh battery energy storage system and a floating solar project of up to 20 MW in the Great Nicobar Island.

In July this year, the government allowed two central public sector enterprises to invest up to ₹270 billion (~$3.14 billion) in their renewable energy subsidiaries. The decision by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs is expected to facilitate the acceleration of India’s renewable energy project development and ensure investments in reliable, round-the-clock electricity across the country.
