Production Commenced — What It Means
The 105 MW solar capacity in the Khavda region of Gujarat is now commercially active as of midnight May 28, 2026. This unit represents the eighth and final phase of the larger 1,200 MW Khavda-II Solar PV Project. By reaching full operational status for this block, NTPC Green Energy strengthens its footprint in one of India's largest dedicated renewable energy parks.
The project was developed by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, which operates as a wholly owned subsidiary, ensuring the group maintains complete control over these strategic green assets as it scales toward long-term national energy targets.
Path to This Milestone
- The 1,200 MW Khavda-II project was commissioned in eight distinct phases to ensure stable grid integration
- This final 105 MW installment marks the successful culmination of extensive infrastructure development in Gujarat
- NTPC Green Energy has consistently expanded its portfolio from 3.3 GW in FY24 through aggressive commissioning
- The Khavda facility is a critical component of the company strategy to reach 60 GW of capacity by 2032
Revenue Impact
With an additional 105 MW now generating power, the company expands its revenue-earning asset base by approximately 1 percent. The transition from construction to commercial operation allows for the commencement of billing under established long-term power purchase agreements. Given the group operating profit margin of 84.86 percent in recent quarters, these low-variable-cost solar assets typically contribute significantly to EBITDA once operational.
The increased capacity supports the growth of annual operating revenue, which stood at 2,858.42 crore rupees for the previous trailing twelve-month period, reflecting the company steady transition into a major power producer.
