Hindustan Power Wins
High-Value SECI Project with 150 MW Contracting Capacity; Ratul Puri Highlights
Plan to Deploy 300 MWp PV and 300 MWh Storage
Chennai,2025: Hindustan Power, one of India’s
leading integrated energy companies, has won a bid from the Solar Energy
Corporation of India (SECI) to develop a solar and battery energy storage
project with a contracted capacity of 150 MW of solar power. The project will
require the installation of approximately 300 MWp of solar capacity and 300 MWh
of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Shaping India’s next phase of
clean-energy growth, the Chairman Ratul Puri emphasized company’s focus on
building flexible, storage-led renewable assets that will define the country’s
future power infrastructure.
The project will be developed under the ‘SECI–ISTS–XX’
tender. It is designed for flexible deployment and can be set up at suitable
locations across India. It was secured through a tariff-based
competitive bidding process, followed by a successful e-Reverse Auction (e-RA)
conducted on the ETS portal. It was awarded under SECI’s tender for
ISTS-connected Solar PV projects with integrated Battery Energy Storage Systems
(BESS).
Commenting on the development, Mr
Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power, said: “This project reflects our continuous commitment to
advancing India’s transition toward a modern, flexible and future-ready energy
ecosystem. Our focus remains on building assets that deliver stability and
efficiency, as we continue to build future-ready energy infrastructure
that supports India’s clean-energy ambitions.”
This development marks another step
forward in Hindustan Power’s efforts to strengthen its renewable energy
portfolio and contribute to India’s clean energy goals. The integration of
solar generation with battery storage will enable enhanced grid reliability,
improved power management during peak hours, and a more stable supply of clean
energy.
By combining solar power with advanced storage, Hindustan Power
continues to support national goals for sustainability, energy security, and
the delivery of clean power. The company is currently developing clean-energy
projects across various parts of India. It is commissioning a 435 MW solar
project in Uttar Pradesh, a 100 MW solar power plant along with a
state-of-the-art 100 MW battery-energy storage system in Assam, and a 120 MWh
battery-storage project in Bihar. The company has also secured a new contract
from SJVN Limited to build a 100 MW solar project paired with a 200 MWh
battery-storage system. Together, these projects reflect Hindustan Power’s
commitment to expanding India’s clean-energy footprint.
