NTPC Green Energy Commissions 212.5 MW Solar, 52.5 MW Wind Projects, Lifting Group Capacity Past 83 GW

NTPC Green Energy, part of India’s biggest power company, NTPC Limited, has started running new renewable energy sources in Gujarat. This move strengthens the group’s position as a leader in India's switch to clean energy. By August 2025, the company had put 212.5 megawatts (MW) of solar power and 52.5 MW of wind energy into action, bringing NTPC Group’s total installed and running capacity to an impressive 83,242 MW.

The new 212.5 MW solar part is the fourth section of the 1,255 MW Khavda-I Solar PV Project in Gujarat’s quickly growing renewable energy area. NTPC Green Energy has been adding things in stages, which helps get assets online faster and gives quicker returns for investors and grid operators. At the same time, a 52.8 MW wind energy project, created by an NTPC Green Energy group company, began commercial operations on August 21, 2025, giving the company's wind power and mixed project plans a boost.

NTPC Renewable Energy works as a smaller part of the group. This lets NTPC gather know-how, get specific funding for the energy sector, and match India’s big renewable energy goals while keeping the main NTPC brand strong financially and operationally.

The solar and wind projects both help NTPC’s renewable energy plans move forward. They focus on growing quickly, spreading out to different areas, and running things well. The Khavda-I Solar PV Project is one of India’s largest solar projects and plays a big part in the country’s clean power targets for 2030. Gujarat benefits from a boost to the local economy, job training, and better grid reliability.

These new projects come as NTPC Green Energy plans to grow a lot in the future. According to briefings and industry reports, the company plans to spend up to ₹1 lakh crore on solar and wind energy by fiscal 2027. They are aiming for 19,000 MW of installed capacity, which is six times more than just a year ago. Over 90% of the new projects are expected to be solar, with wind projects in good locations for seasonal balance. The company is also looking into green hydrogen, pumped storage, and battery energy storage, using mixed plans to get the most out of their assets.

For India’s power grid and people using electricity, these changes mean cleaner, more reliable power. They also lower carbon emissions and reduce the need for fossil fuels. NTPC’s history of doing projects, getting funding, and working with both public and private groups gives them an advantage as the market adds more unpredictable renewable energy sources.

NTPC’s expansion has bigger effects on India’s climate and energy security. With the government pushing for 500 GW of power from non-fossil sources by 2030, both the public and private sectors will depend on proven approaches like NTPC’s for quick and well-managed progress. Market experts also point out that the company can raise money at good rates because of its strong credit ratings and support from government plans.

Looking ahead, NTPC Green Energy is likely to be a leader not only in creating assets but also in balancing the grid, piloting energy storage, and using digital tools to watch, send out, and trade power. Its growing experience in mixed projects (solar-wind-storage) can serve as a guide for future electricity trade across the country and even across borders.

Even with these successes, the sector still has problems: adding more renewables to the grid, dealing with land use and supply chains, and keeping profits up as power prices change. But NTPC’s recent achievements in Gujarat show its strength and its goal to shape India’s clean energy future.
