Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies, will develop 5 GW of renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro) and storage projects in Assam with an investment of INR 30,000 crore over the next five years. It has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Assam Government for the proposed investment.
As part of this collaboration, the Assam Government will facilitate the identification and allocation of around 20,000 acres of encumbrance-free government land on a lease basis and assist in acquiring private land suitable for solar, wind, hydro, and energy storage projects. Additionally, the state will support infrastructure development to ensure seamless transmission connectivity and promote the establishment of Renewable Energy Parks through state agencies.
The initiative will also include the identification of land for Group Captive sites, enabling industries and tea gardens to access clean energy under Assam’s land allotment and Industrial policies. To accelerate project execution, the Government has committed to single-window clearances for statutory approvals, financial incentives, and collaboration with research institutions for innovation in the renewable sector. Skill development programs will also be introduced to build a trained workforce for project implementation and operation.
Further, Tata Power ‘s arm Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd has signed an MoU with Assam Power Distribution Co. Ltd (APDCL) to drive renewable energy adoption and enhance energy efficiency across the state. This agreement focuses on scaling up rooftop solar projects under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGY) while also contributing 3,000 direct job opportunities, reinforcing Assam’s clean energy transition and economic growth.
In the state, Tata Power has already developed 20 MW solar rooftop capacity, supplied over 300 EV home chargers, and set up more than 20 public EV charging stations.
