Under the agreement, SECI will facilitate the installation of grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic systems on DGCA buildings nationwide under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. The initiative aims to promote clean energy use within civil aviation infrastructure while reducing dependence on conventional power sources.
The MoU was signed by Seema Pahuja, Deputy Director, DGCA, and exchanged in the presence of C.L. Gautam, Director (Finance), DGCA, and Manas Ranjan Mishra, Deputy General Manager (Solar), SECI.
The partnership reflects SECI’s growing role beyond traditional renewable energy deployment, focusing on cross-sectoral integration of sustainable solutions across government institutions. “This collaboration underscores SECI’s strategic intent to integrate renewable energy solutions across diverse government sectors, including civil aviation infrastructure,” stated SECI.
Earlier this month, SECI signed an MoU with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to solarise around 244 municipal buildings across Delhi.
Last month, SECI signed a Statement of Intent with the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) to collaborate on grid strengthening, clean energy integration, and strategic initiatives supporting India’s energy transition.
It also signed an MoU with Indraprastha Power Generation Company (IPGCL) and Pragati Power Corporation (PPCL) to explore and develop solar, energy storage, and emerging clean energy projects.
In November 2025, SECI and the Ministry of External Affairs inked an MoU to equip all MEA buildings across India with grid-connected rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.
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.
