Project Details

The 810 MW solar power project is expected to generate approximately 2 billion units of green electricity annually and offset approximately 1.5 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. The project will be established within the infrastructure of the 2000 MW Pugal solar park being developed by RVUNL. The solar park is being developed in the barren lands of Bikaner, which is bestowed with abundant solar radiation. The project was awarded through a competitive tariff-based bidding process by RVUNL and is implemented under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Park scheme. The project is a testament to NLC India Ltd.'s efforts in the field of renewable energy, and it is expected to play a vital role in India's transition to a low-carbon economy. The company is committed to clean and sustainable energy, and this project marks a pivotal moment in its journey towards achieving this goal. With this project, NLC India Ltd.'s cumulative renewable energy capacity under implementation takes a major leap, reinforcing its mission of powering India responsibly with a balanced energy mix of conventional and renewable energy sources.
