Production Commenced — What It Means
NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) has officially declared the Commercial Operation Date for 62.5 MW of solar power capacity across two projects in Rajasthan. This expansion includes a 12.5 MW segment of the 150 MW project under Project Eleven Renewable Power Private Limited and a 50 MW segment of the 300 MW project under Project Sixteen Renewable Power Private Limited. These facilities, both step-down subsidiaries of the joint venture ONGC NTPC Green Private Limited, became operational on May 15, 2026.
This move transitions these assets from the construction phase to active power generation, contributing directly to the national grid.
Path to This Milestone
- Project Eleven achieved a cumulative capacity of 100 MW out of its total 150 MW planned solar capacity
- Project Sixteen reached a cumulative capacity of 200 MW of its 300 MW solar project target
- The commissioning was managed through subsidiary NGEL and its joint venture with ONGC
- Both projects are strategically located in Rajasthan to leverage high solar irradiation levels
- NTPC group total commercial capacity reached 88,788 MW with these new additions
