en.Wedoany.com Reported - India's NTPC Green Energy Ltd has added 62.5 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity in Rajasthan, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing, a move that increases its group commercial operational capacity from 10,453.90 MW to 10,516.40 MW. The additional capacity comes from the second phase of two projects in Rajasthan, helping to improve the operational availability of the company's contracted supply.

The first addition of 12.5 MW brings the cumulative output of the 150 MW project to 100 MW. This installation belongs to Project Eleven Renewable Power Private Limited, a downstream subsidiary of the ONGC NTPC Green Private Limited joint venture, and has been declared commercially operational effective May 15, 2026. The second addition of 50 MW, part of a 300 MW project, brings its cumulative installed capacity to 200 MW, also declared commercially operational from 00:00 hours on May 15, 2026.

During an investor conference call, parent company NTPC Group outlined a construction pipeline exceeding 33 gigawatts (GW), including 16.5 GW of coal-fired power plants, approximately 1.9 GW of hydro capacity, and nearly 15 GW of renewable energy capacity. This pipeline lays the foundation for near- to medium-term growth, according to the filing.

The filing also discussed curtailment issues, noting that NTPC Green Energy lost approximately 420 million units of generation due to curtailment in the first nine months, while NREL lost approximately 212 million units over the same period. Management stated that curtailment losses for NTPC Green Energy will be eliminated following the commissioning of the Narela K3 transmission line, adding that minor curtailment at other locations is expected to ease as grid access safeguards are progressively implemented.
