SJVN begins commercial operations of 78.23 MW capacity at Bikaner solar project
State-owned Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam(SJVN) on Thursday said SJVN Green Energy has begun commercial operations of 78.23 MW capacity at its Bikaner solar power project. The company had achieved the commercial operation date for 241.77 MW (Phase-1) of the power station on April 2, 2025, according to a statement. "...SJVN, through its wholly owned subsidiary SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), has successfully achieved Commercial Operation Date (COD) of 78.23 MW capacity of 1000 MW Bikaner Solar Power Project today," the statement said. The project, with a total planned capacity of 1000 MW, is slated for full commissioning by the third quarter of 2025, the company said, adding that upon completion, SGEL will supply the generated solar power to Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invertir $200 en Amazon CFD podría devolverte un segundo salario Undo The project, located in Bikaner district of Rajasthan, is being developed under the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme - Phase II, Tranche III of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the statement added. It is being implemented under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) mode, thereby providing a significant impetus to the government's Make in India initiative and bolstering the indigenous solar manufacturing sector. Live Events The 1000 MW project is poised to make a substantial contribution to India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and also aligns with SJVN's shared vision of becoming a 25,000 MW company by 2030 and 50,000 MW by 2040.

India allows extension for commissioning of certain solar power projects until December
India's Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has granted a nine-month extension for the commissioning of certain solar projects by two government agencies, pushing the deadline to the end of December 2025 due to multiple challenges, a document seen by Reuters showed. In a letter to the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), the MNRE cited limited availability of domestically made photovoltaic solar modules, transmission infrastructure issues , and tender-related delays as reasons for the extension. The SECI and IREDA had requested the extension for projects tendered under the federal government's Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme Phase-II. The scheme aims to set up 12 gigawatts of solar projects by state-run entities, using domestically manufactured solar PV cells and modules, with financial support from the Indian government. The extension underscores the struggles faced by India's renewable energy sector as the country targets at least 500 GW of non-fossil power capacity by 2030, up from 172 GW currently. The sector is grappling with several obstacles, including weak demand for tenders, land acquisition challenges, delays in power purchase agreements and project cancellations. The country also fell short of its earlier goal of adding 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, with fossil fuels still accounting for more than two-thirds of total power generated last year.
