Patel Infrastructure, Alfanar Power, KP Energy, and Powerica won Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam’s (GUVNL) auction to set up 250 MW grid-connected wind power projects (Phase X).

Patel and Alfanar quoted a tariff of ₹3.43 (~$0.0382) to win 100 MW and 50 MW, respectively.

KP Energy won 50 MW at a tariff of ₹3.44 (~$0.0383)/kWh.

Powerica won 50 MW out of the quoted 106.4 MW at a tariff of ₹3.44 (~$0.0383)/kWh under the bucket-filling method.

The tender was floated in September this year.

The scope of work includes setting up wind projects, along with the transmission network connecting the projects to the central transmission utility at the interstate transmission system level, or through Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation substations at the intrastate transmission system level.

The selected developers will sign a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with GUVNL. They will be responsible for operations and maintenance throughout the PPA period.

Developers must maintain a minimum annual capacity utilization factor of 25%, with penalties for shortfalls and compensation norms for excess generation and offtake constraints.

Penalties for delay in commissioning include encashment of the earnest money deposit and performance bank guarantee.

The wind turbines must comply with the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers.

KPI Green Energy, Juniper Green Energy, JGRJ Four Renewable (Jakson Green), and Inox Neo Energies (Inox Clean Energy) had won GUVNL’s Phase IX auction to set up 250 MW grid-connected wind power projects.

India added 1.4 GW of wind energy capacity in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, a 105% year-over-year increase from 706.5 MW in Q3 2024, according to Mercom India Research.

During the quarter, Gujarat led in capacity additions with 557.2 MW, accounting for 38.5% of the total installed capacity. Karnataka followed, adding 336.7 MW and accounting for 23.2%. Of the remaining 554.9 MW, Madhya Pradesh contributed 253 MW (17.5%). Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu added 246.6 MW (17%) and 55.1 MW (3.8%), respectively.

In September, the Government of India introduced the renewable consumption obligation mandating that 3.48% of designated consumers’ total renewable energy consumption must be wind power by the financial year 2030.
