Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has commissioned a 198 MW wind energy project under a group captive model in Karur, Tamil Nadu.

The facility comprises 55 wind turbines of 3.6-MW each and is expected to produce approximately 31 million units of clean electricity annually.

This output will supply renewable power to Tata Steel as part of its decarbonization efforts.

The project was delivered through TPREL’s inhouse engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) execution model. The company completed key construction milestones—such as turbine foundations in 126 days and full turbine installation in 167 days.

Tata Power aims to achieve 100% clean energy by 2045. The company’s expanding renewable portfolio now includes significant wind and solar assets across multiple states, reflecting sustained growth in clean power deployment.

TPREL has a wind energy portfolio exceeding 3.7 GW, with over 1.2 GW operational and the remainder under various stages of development across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.

The company’s renewable energy portfolio stands at 15.7 GW, of which 6.9 GW is sourced from clean energy. With this project, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW. Currently, 6.1 GW of this capacity is operational, comprising 4.9 GW of solar and 1.2 GW of wind energy.

Last November, TPREL commissioned a 300 MW solar power project for NHPC at Karnisar Bhatiyan in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The project comprises approximately 775,000 solar modules spread across the desert terrain, supported by precision ramming structures and inverters designed to withstand Rajasthan’s extreme temperatures.

India added 6.3 GW of wind power capacity in 2025, an 85.2% YoY increase from 3.4 GW in 2024, according to Mercom India Research. The additions marked the highest annual wind installations recorded in the country. India’s wind power market improved in 2025, supported by higher tender activity, stronger bidder participation, and more competitive tariffs.
