SJVN hits new milestone at Bikaner Solar Project, adds 78.23 MW to grid
Shimla | 15 May 2025
SJVN’s green energy arm, SGEL, has achieved commercial operations for an additional 78.23 MW capacity under the ambitious 1000 MW Bikaner Solar Power Project in Rajasthan. With this, the total operational capacity at the site has reached 320 MW, after the earlier commissioning of 241.77 MW on April 2.
Set to be fully operational by Q3 of 2025, the mega solar project will supply clean energy to Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand.
“This project is a shining example of our commitment to India’s green energy goals and the Make in India initiative. We are proud to be contributing to the national mission of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030,” said an SJVN spokesperson.
Being developed under MNRE’s CPSU Scheme Phase II (Tranche III), the project is being implemented under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) category—giving a major push to indigenous solar manufacturing.
Once fully commissioned, this project will significantly boost India’s clean energy portfolio and aligns with SJVN’s vision of becoming a 25,000 MW company by 2030 and 50,000 MW by 2040.
