NLC India has announced that it has operationalised the third and final part capacity of 141.17 MW, thereby fully commissioning its 300 MW solar power project in Bikaner, Rajasthan.

“The Part Commissioning Certificate has been received from Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation on January 24, 2026,” the company stated in a regulatory filing.

The first and second phases of the aforesaid project, with a capacity of 52.83 MW and 106 MW has already been declared commercially operational with effect from August 26, 2025 and November 2, 2025, respectively.

With the commissioning of the entire 300 MW capacity, the total installed renewable energy capacity of the company has increased to 1,766 MW, it said.

Earlier this month, NLC India signed an MoU with the Government of Gujarat to develop large-scale solar, wind, hybrid and BESS projects in the state, with an investment potential of around INR 25,000 crore.

Last month, NLC India Renewables and PTC India inked a joint venture agreement to develop up to 2 GW of green energy projects, starting with a 500 MW first phase, spanning solar, wind, hydro, battery energy storage systems, green ammonia, and other emerging green technologies.

In December 2025, NLC India Renewables signed an MoU with the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency to jointly develop solar, hybrid, rooftop, and energy-storage projects across Odisha.

NLC India recently secured its first Green Loan under the External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) framework, raising JPY 15.464 billion (USD 100 million) from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC). It will exclusively support capital expenditure for renewable energy projects undertaken through its subsidiary, NLC India Renewables (NIRL).

In July 2025, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a special exemption allowing NLC India to invest INR 7,000 crore in its subsidiary NIRL without prior approval. Subsequently, the company's board gave in-principle approval to infuse up to INR 1,630.89 crore in NIRL in one or more tranches through equity subscription.

NLC India has set a target of 10 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and aims to raise the green share of its power portfolio to 50 percent, contributing to India's Net-Zero 2070 vision.
