Hindustan Power Wins Major SECI Solar-Storage Project, Strengthening India’s Clean Energy Future

India’s renewable energy transformation is entering a new era — one that not only aims to generate more green power, but to store it, stabilize it, and make it reliably available around the clock. In this shift toward a modernized grid, Hindustan Power has emerged as a powerful player.

In a major milestone for the country’s clean energy ambitions, the company has secured a high-impact bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) — a move that will significantly influence the next phase of solar deployment in India.

Under the project, Hindustan Power will develop 300 MWp of solar photovoltaic capacity integrated with a robust 300 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This will ensure 150 MW of contracted power supply to the grid — not just when the sun shines, but whenever demand peaks.

A Winning Bid in India’s Competitive Renewable Market

The award comes under SECI’s prestigious ‘SECI–ISTS–XX’ tender, part of a large-scale initiative to build Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected solar power integrated with advanced storage. The allocation followed a stringent tariff-based competitive bidding round and a decisive reverse auction held on the ETS platform.

What makes this project distinctive is its deployment flexibility — allowing Hindustan Power to establish the solar-storage infrastructure at suitable locations across the country, enabling optimum grid support where it’s needed the most.

Pushing India’s Renewable Boundaries

Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, called the win another step toward accelerating India’s clean energy maturity.

“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 energy infrastructure that supports India’s clean-energy ambitions,” Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power

As India rapidly adds solar capacity, storage is emerging as the most critical link — ensuring renewable power isn’t dependent on daylight alone and helping maintain stability across a fast-evolving grid. Hindustan Power’s approach hits that sweet spot: generate clean power + ensure reliable delivery.

A Fast-Expanding Clean Energy Portfolio

This milestone joins a growing list of strategic renewable deployments already underway by Hindustan Power across India. Some of the flagship ongoing projects include:

• 435 MW Solar Plant in Uttar Pradesh
  One of the company’s largest solar generation assets under execution.

• 100 MW Solar + 100 MW BESS Project in Assam
  Strengthening clean energy supply in the Northeast with advanced storage.

• Standalone 120 MWh Battery Project in Bihar
  A major push toward next-generation grid resilience.

• 100 MW Solar + 200 MWh Storage Project for SJVN Limited
  Recently secured, underscoring Hindustan Power’s growing partnerships in the sector.

Each rollout not only boosts renewable supply but also supports India’s plans for energy independence, reduced fossil reliance, and nationwide grid stability.

Strengthening India’s Energy Security Vision

As the nation eyes its 500 GW renewable target and transitions into a global leader in green energy innovation, players like Hindustan Power are placing storage-backed solar at the heart of the movement.

From ensuring peak power availability to stabilizing volatile grid load, such developments mark a crucial shift: India is no longer just adding renewable capacity — it is making it dependable
