Reliance Infrastructure wins NHPC solar and storage project in Gujarat

Reliance Infrastructure Limited has received a Letter of Award from NHPC for developing a 390 MW interstate transmission system-connected solar project with a Battery Energy Storage System.

The project will add 700 MWp of solar direct current capacity and 780 MWh of storage once commissioned. The winning tariff was discovered at Rs 3.13 per unit, placing the project among the more competitive bids in the renewable segment.

NHPC’s tender saw participation from 15 companies, with 14 qualifying for the e-reverse auction. The tender was oversubscribed nearly four times, highlighting demand for dispatchable renewable energy.

With this award, the Reliance Group’s clean energy pipeline now exceeds 3 GWp of solar and 3.5 GWh of storage capacity. Reliance Power, part of the group, already holds close to 2.5 GWp of solar and 2.5 GWh of storage projects. The addition of the new capacity makes Reliance Group the largest player in India’s integrated solar and storage market.
