In October 2025, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and SECI signed an MoU to develop 300 MW of solar-based renewable energy projects across DRDO campuses nationwide, aiming to establish self-reliant, Net-Zero campuses across all strategic DRDO locations by 2027.
In August 2025, SECI signed an MoU with the Renewable Energy Agency Puducherry to solarise all government buildings in the Union Territory.
Recently, SECI signed its first-ever 700 MW Commercial and Industrial (C&I) renewable energy term sheet with Acme Cleantech Solutions, expanding its clean energy supply portfolio beyond DISCOMs to cater to India's growing C&I market.
SECI and MahaGenco Renewable Energy also signed an MoU to jointly explore and develop renewable energy and emerging clean energy projects with a potential pipeline of up to 5 GW, spanning FDRE, RTC power, energy storage and green hydrogen technologies.
