KPI Green Bags 696 Crore Solar EPC O&M Contract
KPI Green secures ₹696 crore EPC and O&M contract from SJVN for 200MW solar project in Gujarat
KPI Green Energy has settled a major contract worth ₹ 696.50 crore( banning GST) from the state- possessed SJVN Ltd to make a 200 MW( AC) solar power factory at the GIPCL Renewable Energy Park in Khavda, Gujarat.
Under this deal, KPI Green will take on three distinct but interlinked places supply all the major factory outfit, handle the engineering- procurement- construction( EPC) work, and manage the operation and conservation( O&M) of the factory for the first three times after it goes live.
Breaking down the contract value, about ₹ 486.89 crore is allocated for the force of factory and outfit, ₹ 178.27 crore for construction, testing, commissioning, and civil workshop, and ₹ 31.34 crore is allocated for the three- time O&M period( including reserves and consumables).
KPI Green will also be responsible for all logistical aspects disburdening, handling, storehouse, and assuring the outfit until it's commissioned. Once construction is complete, the company will carry out performance testing and functional acceptance as per the terms of the contract.
For KPI Green, this is a strong vote of confidence. The deal reinforces its character as a dependable mate for large- scale renewable systems, especially in the mileage- scale solar space. Faruk G. Patel, the company’s Chairman and Managing Director, remarked that landing this contract with a central public- sector enterprise like SJVN underscores KPI Green’s prosecution capability and credibility.
On SJVN’s side, the move reflects its growing drive beyond hydropower into solar energy. SJVN is a common adventure between the Government of India and the Government of Himachal Pradesh.
This design also strengthens KPI Green’s presence in the Khavda Renewable Energy Park. The company is formerly executing a 645 MWp solar cluster there, and with the addition of this 200 MW( AC) design, its capacity under development at Khavda will exceed 845 MWp( DC).
Overall, the deal demonstrates KPI Green’s intertwined capability from supplying outfit to erecting the factory, and also managing its early operations and further cements its position in India’s clean energy transition.
