Blueleaf Energy Commissions 300 MWp Pachora Hybrid Power Project Worth INR 1,900 Crore in MP
Blueleaf Energy, owned by a fund managed by Macquarie Asset Management, has successfully commissioned its flagship 300 MWp Pachora Hybrid Power Project in Madhya Pradesh, India.

The Pachora Hybrid Power Project’s nearly 600 million units (MU) of clean electricity per annum will be sold on the Indian power market. This structure is unique for a project of its size. The sale of energy on the market is managed through a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a leading Indian power trader. The project also provides environmental attributes to a large international technology company under a separate 15-year International Renewable Energy Credits (I-RECs) contract, significantly enhancing bankability.
The project comprises 35 wind turbines, a multi-site solar farm, and a pooling substation. It spans 40 sites across 347 hectares of land and offsets approximately 550 kilotons of CO2 annually, an impact equivalent to removing nearly 130,000 cars from the road. By delivering power day and night, the Pachora Hybrid Power Project optimises system efficiency and reduces the need for grid expansion, demonstrating Blueleaf Energy’s commitment to accelerating India’s energy transition.
Raghuram Natarajan, CEO of Blueleaf Energy, commented, “The commissioning of the Pachora Hybrid Power Project is a defining moment for Blueleaf Energy as we establish a robust operational footprint in India. This project demonstrates our ability to deliver complex, large-scale hybrid solutions that address the intermittency challenges of renewable energy.”
Natarajan further added,” By bringing this flagship project online, we are not only supporting India’s 500 GW renewable target but also proving that innovative, cost-effective hybrid models are the key to a decarbonised and resilient grid.”
Pratyush Thakur, Country Head for Blueleaf Energy in India, shared, “At Blueleaf, our vision is to build resilient, empowered, and sustainable communities where people and nature thrive together. The commissioning of the Pachora Hybrid Power Project is more than a technical milestone. it is a commitment to long-term prosperity in our host communities.
“Through our Blueleaf CARES programme, we are already delivering on this promise in Madhya Pradesh from environmental stewardship to health and skilling initiatives. As we expand, we are bringing these same principles of rapport and trust-building to our developments in Rajasthan, ensuring our projects grow in harmony with local aspirations. We do not just generate power; we invest in the social fabric that sustains it,” added Thakur.
Despite significant weather events and global supply chain pressures in 2025, the project successfully commenced operations in December. It is now operating at full capacity, with Blueleaf Energy exploring further expansion of the plant and additional project opportunities in the area.
Blueleaf is also commissioning solar farms within its Rajasthan Solar Portfolio, which achieved financial close in October 2025 and remains on track for full delivery later this year.
