Hindustan Power has won a SECI bid to develop a renewable energy project with a contracted solar capacity of 150 MW, requiring around 300 MWp of solar installation and a 300 MWh battery-energy storage system. The project was awarded through a tariff-based competitive process and an e-reverse auction under the SECI-ISTS-XX tender for solar projects integrated with storage. Company Chairman Ratul Puri stated that the initiative reflects Hindustan Power's focus on flexible, storage-led assets to support India's future power infrastructure. The company is also working on several large solar and storage projects across multiple states.
Hindustan Power has secured a bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India to develop a solar and battery-energy storage project with a contracted output of 150 MW of solar power. The plan requires approximately 300 MWp of solar capacity and a 300 MWh Battery Energy Storage System. The project comes under the SECI-ISTS-XX tender, which allows flexible deployment at suitable locations across the country. The bid was finalised through a tariff-based competitive process followed by an e-reverse auction conducted on the ETS portal for ISTS-connected solar projects integrated with storage. Advertisement
The company's Chairman, Ratul Puri, stated that the project demonstrated Hindustan Power's commitment to supporting India's transition toward a modern power ecosystem built on flexible and storage-enabled renewable assets. He highlighted that the company aims to build energy infrastructure capable of delivering stability, efficiency, and long-term value to the power grid.
This new project strengthens the company's broader renewable-energy portfolio, which includes several ongoing developments. The company is commissioning a 435 MW solar project in Uttar Pradesh. It is also building a 100 MW solar plant paired with a 100 MW battery-storage system in Assam, and a separate 120 MWh storage project in Bihar. In addition, Hindustan Power recently secured a contract from SJVN Limited to construct a 100 MW solar project supported by a 200 MWh battery-storage system. These projects collectively underline the company's growing role in expanding India's clean-energy capacity.
The integration of utility-scale solar with battery storage is expected to enhance grid reliability, improve power management during high-demand periods, and support steady delivery of clean power. The company continues to align its upcoming assets with India's long-term goals related to sustainability and energy security.
