Utility Scale PV

ICRA expects India to add 22 GW of new solar power generation capacity in FY 2025 and 27.5 GW in FY 2026, taking its cumulative installed PV capacity to 131.5 GW from 82 GW as of March 31, 2024.

AMPIN Energy Transition and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners have expanded their existing collaboration with $300 million joint equity investments to enable the addition of 2 GWp of renewable energy projects across India. This new partnership along with the existing one will create a $2.7-3 billion renewable energy asset base in India.

ONGC NTPC Green Pvt Ltd will explore and set up renewable energy (RE) projects in India and overseas through greenfield development and acquisitions. It will also explore and harness opportunities in the fields of energy storage, e-mobility and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) compliant projects.
