SJVN Adds Green Energy to Its Kitty with 241.77 MW Solar Power in Bikaner
Shimla, April 2, 2025: In a major boost to India’s renewable energy sector, SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), a subsidiary of SJVN, has successfully commissioned 241.77 MW capacity in Phase-I of the ambitious 1000 MW Bikaner Solar Power Project.
The project, located in Bikaner district of Rajasthan, is part of the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme – Phase II, Tranche III, under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
It is being implemented under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) mode, reinforcing the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative by promoting indigenous solar manufacturing.
SJVN plans to fully commission the project by September 30, 2025. Once operational at full capacity, the solar power generated will be supplied to Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand, strengthening their green energy portfolio.
The 1000 MW project is a significant step toward India’s commitment to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. It also aligns with SJVN’s long-term goal of becoming a 25,000 MW company by the same year.
SJVN’s latest achievement underscores its commitment to clean energy and sustainability, making substantial contributions to India’s renewable energy roadmap.
With each milestone, the company is cementing its role as a key player in the nation’s transition to a greener future.
