SGEL’s Growth in Solar Energy

SGEL has been actively expanding its solar energy portfolio. Earlier this year, the company invited bids for the manufacture and supply of solar modules with a capacity of 376.60 MW for its GUVNL (Phase-XIV) solar project. Additionally, SGEL sought to acquire or lease up to 800 acres of land in Assam for setting up solar projects with a 200 MW capacity.

With this latest 700 MW tender at the Khavda Renewable Energy Park, SGEL continues to play a significant role in scaling up India’s renewable energy capabilities.
