SJVN Green Energy (SGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of SJVN, has successfully completed the trial run of 241.77 MW capacity in Phase-I of the 1,000 MW Bikaner Solar Power Project on March 31, 2025. The project is now operational and is set to achieve its Commercial Operation Date (COD) on April 2, 2025.
The Bikaner Solar Power Project is a significant step in SGEL鈥檚 expansion into renewable energy, with the full 1,000 MW capacity expected to be commissioned by September 30, 2025. Once fully operational, the project will supply clean energy to Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand, supporting India鈥檚 growing demand for renewable power.
This initiative aligns with India's ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. The project is also a crucial part of SJVN鈥檚 long-term growth strategy, which aims to scale up its total power generation capacity to 25,000 MW by 2030 and 50,000 MW by 2040.
The Bikaner Solar Power Project reinforces SGEL鈥檚 commitment to sustainable energy and contributes significantly to India's transition towards green power. With this successful trial run, the company moves closer to enhancing solar energy infrastructure and reducing dependence on conventional power sources.
As SGEL progresses toward full commissioning, this project is expected to play a key role in strengthening India's renewable energy ecosystem and accelerating the country鈥檚 journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.
