National, Dec 31 (BVI) Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited (Tata Power), has commissioned SJVN Limited’s landmark 1 GW (1,000 MW AC/1,400 MWp DC) DCR-compliant solar power project in Rajasthan.
Spanning the Bandarwala and Karnisar Bhatiyan sites in Bikaner, Rajasthan, the project capacity has been allocated to key state utilities—500 MW to Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited (RUVITL), 300 MW to Jammu & Kashmir Power Limited (JKPL), and 200 MW to Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL)—ensuring power supply to Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand, the company said in a statement.
All 2.4 million modules used in the project have been manufactured at Tata Power’s TP Solar Limited, it said.
In its first year of operation, the project is expected to generate approximately 2,454.84 million units of green electricity and offset nearly 1.74 million tonnes of CO₂, supporting rising energy demand while significantly advancing India’s clean energy transition and national decarbonisation goals, the company said.
This milestone marks the largest solar project commissioned by TPREL to date and one of the most expansive renewable energy developments in India, underscoring the company’s execution excellence, the company said in a statement.
With the commissioning of this project, TPREL’s total renewable utility-scale capacity has reached 11.6 GW, including 4.9 GW executed as third-party EPC.

Additionally, 5.8 GW is under various stages of implementation, evenly split between 3 GW of solar and 2.8 GW of wind projects. These ongoing projects are expected to be completed in phases over the next 3 to 24 months in a staggered manner. (BVI)
