PM Modi Inaugurates Avaada Group’s 280 MW Solar Power Project in Gujarat
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated Avaada Group’s 280 MW solar project in Surendranagar, Gujarat, built with an investment of INR 1,500 crore over 1,170 acres, and laid the foundation stone for a 100 MW project in Vadodara worth INR 400 crore.

It is equipped with Avaada Electro’s ALMM-certified TOPCon N-Type bifacial solar PV modules, reflecting a strong emphasis on domestic manufacturing and technological innovation, the company said in a statement.
It further added that the electricity generated will be supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL), contributing significantly to the state’s renewable energy mix and ensuring cleaner and more affordable power for the region’s citizens, particularly farmers.
On the same occasion, the PM also laid the foundation stone for Avaada’s 100 MW solar power project in Vadodara district. Spread across 350 acres and with a planned investment of INR 400 crore, the project is being implemented by Avaada GJ Solar and is expected to be commissioned by April 2026.
The Vadodara project is designed to reduce approximately 212,806 tons of CO₂ emissions annually and will conserve nearly 40 lakh litres of water every year through the deployment of advanced robotic module cleaning technology — a step forward in integrating sustainability at all levels of project execution.
Speaking on the occasion, Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, said, “At Avaada, our mission goes beyond generating energy—it is about contributing to India’s growth story and empowering communities. The inauguration of this project by the Prime Minister is a proud moment for us and reinforces our commitment to delivering clean, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions to every Indian.”
The Surendranagar project is expected to significantly enhance energy access and agricultural productivity in the region by providing reliable, daytime power for irrigation. This will reduce farmers’ dependence on night-time power supply, which is often affected by load shedding, and will improve operational efficiency. The project also plays a crucial role in grid stabilisation, reducing the subsidy burden on the state and cutting reliance on costlier conventional power sources during peak demand hours.
From an environmental perspective, the Surendranagar project is expected to offset around 595,857 tons of CO₂ emissions annually and conserve approximately 112 lakh litres of water per year using robotic module cleaning systems, thereby minimising the project’s ecological footprint, the company stated.
