Pralhad Joshi Inaugurates SECI’s New Corporate Office in New Delhi

Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy; Education; Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Government of India has inaugurated the new corporate office of Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) at the World Trade Centre, New Delhi, on October 29, 2026. 

The inauguration took place in the presence of Santosh Kumar Sarangi, IAS, Secretary, MNRE; Akash Tripathi, IAS, Managing Director, SECI; and senior management of SECI and its employees.

Acknowledging the contribution of the company on the occasion, Pralhad Joshi stated, “SECI has developed into an important institution in the implementation of the Government of India's renewable energy goals. Its responsibilities today extend well beyond solar energy to renewable power procurement, energy storage, project development and power trading. As India's clean energy ambitions continue to grow, so do SECI's responsibilities. 

Its expanding involvement in battery energy storage, green hydrogen, floating solar, rooftop solar and innovative clean energy solutions demonstrate its readiness to support the next phase of our energy transition. So, I urge SECI to strengthen its engagement with State Governments, DISCOMs and transmission agencies to match India's ambitious growth in the renewable energy sector. I congratulate SECI on the inauguration of its new corporate office and extend my best wishes to its officers for the responsibilities ahead.”  

From its establishment in 2011 with the mandate to facilitate the National Solar Mission, SECI has developed into an institution with responsibilities extending across renewable energy procurement, power trading, project development and energy storage. The organisation currently serves an important function in connecting renewable energy generation with the requirements of electricity procuring entities across the country. 

The new premises at the World Trade Centre will accommodate the organisation’s corporate functions and facilitate coordination across its technical, commercial, financial and administrative activities.
