Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has successfully commissioned SJVN Limited's 1 GW (1,000 MW AC /1,400 MWp DC) DCR-compliant solar power project. This is TPREL's largest solar project commissioned to date and utilizes approximately 2.4 million DCR-compliant solar modules manufactured at TP Solar Limited's facility in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, reinforcing the 'Make in India' initiative.

The project is spread across Bikaner, Rajasthan, and has allocated capacity to key state utilities: 500 MW to Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited (RUVITL), 300 MW to Jammu & Kashmir Power Limited (JKPL), and 200 MW to Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL). It is expected to generate approximately 2,454.84 million units of green electricity annually and offset nearly 1.74 million tonnes of CO₂ in its first year, supporting India's decarbonisation goals.

TPREL's total renewable utility-scale capacity has now reached 11.6 GW, including 4.9 GW executed as third-party EPC. The company has 5.8 GW of its own capacity operational (4.7 GW solar, 1.1 GW wind) and an additional 5.8 GW under implementation (3 GW solar, 2.8 GW wind), expected to be completed over the next 3 to 24 months.

The project was completed in challenging environmental conditions, demonstrating TPREL's engineering and execution capabilities. It also generated significant socio-economic impact, providing employment to over 300 local workers and developing more than 25 local vendors.
