At its 300 MW Barsingsar Solar Power Project in Rajasthan, state-owned NLC India (NLCIL) has successfully put an extra 106 megawatts (MW) of solar power capacity into service. After an initial commissioning of 52.83 MW, the project’s total commissioned capacity today stands at 158.83 MW.

According to the Navratna corporation, the commissioning certificate was issued by Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation (RRECL) on Sunday, verifying the accomplishment of this milestone.

On NLCIL’s own property in Barsingsar, Bikaner district, the 300 MW Barsingsar Solar Power Project is being built under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s (MNRE) CPSU Scheme Phase-II.

The project is being created utilising high-efficiency bifacial solar PV modules that are made in the country, supporting the expansion of local manufacturing and being in line with the Atmanirbhar Bharat plan. The State of Rajasthan will get all of the solar energy produced by this project, bolstering the state’s renewable energy mix and advancing India’s clean energy objectives. In order to reach the full 300 MW capacity by the planned date of December 2025, NLCIL intends to commission the remaining capacity.

“This commissioning represents another milestone in NLCIL’s journey towards a sustainable and diversified energy portfolio,” stated Prasanna Kumar Motupalli, CMD of NLCIL. In addition to active solar and wind projects throughout Rajasthan, Gujarat, Assam, and Tamil Nadu, NLCIL is perseveringly pursuing its renewable energy expansion plan with the goal of achieving 10 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

This commissioning brings NLCIL’s installed renewable energy capacity to 1,588.83 MW. Over 2 billion units (BU) of green electricity were produced by the business in FY25, and with this most recent capacity addition, the amount of clean energy output is anticipated to increase even further, enhancing NLCIL’s commitment to India’s sustainable energy future.
