The company plans to set up an over 3 GW solar cell and module manufacturing plant, a battery manufacturing plant, a 60 MW RE power plant, and various ancillary units, with an estimated total capital investment of up to INR 5,000 crore, the company stated in a regulatory filing.
“CESC shall provide all necessary financial support to CESC Green Power to ensure the successful financial closure and implementation of the project. Such support shall include, but not be limited to, equity infusion, strategic assistance, and facilitating institutional funding,” it said.
The company has recently secured land from the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) for the proposed 3 GW solar cell, module plant and the integrated 60 MW renewable energy project. The company plans to invest about INR 3,000 crore for these projects.
As per the recently issued 'Investor Update for Q1 FY26', through its renewable subsidiary, Purvah Green Power, the company is currently executing 3.2 GW of hybrid solar and wind projects slated for completion by FY29. Phase two of the initiative will take this capacity to 10 GW, positioning CESC as a major player in the green energy transition.
The company has made significant progress on regulatory and logistical fronts, securing grid connectivity for 3.8 GW of its proposed 7.3 GW capacity and acquiring 3,000 acres of land for development, with another 8,000 acres under active evaluation.
