Hindustan Power, under the leadership of Chairman Ratul Puri, has recently secured multiple renewable energy and battery storage projects across several Indian states, reflecting its ongoing commitment to expanding an integrated clean-energy portfolio and supporting the country’s energy transition. Since early 2025, the company has added nearly 1 GW of solar capacity and more than 0.75 GWh of energy storage. This expansion includes standalone solar plants as well as hybrid facilities that combine photovoltaic generation with battery storage, in line with government initiatives encouraging storage integration to meet evolving grid requirements.

Hindustan Power signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) for a 435 MWp solar project. The company also secured an ISTS-connected project from SJVN Limited, involving the installation of 200 MWp of solar capacity along with over 250 MWh of battery storage. In Bihar, the company signed a Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement (BESPA) with the Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited for a 120 MWh standalone storage project across three substations. This project will be developed under a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model.

Hindustan Power’s most recent achievement is an ISTS-connected project awarded by SECI for a contracted capacity of 150 MW. The project will include around 300 MWp of solar generation and 360 MWh of battery storage. This award, secured through a competitive bidding and e-reverse auction process, further strengthens the company’s growing clean-energy and storage portfolio.

Chairman Ratul Puri commented that combining renewable generation with advanced storage enables the company to deliver flexible, dispatchable power solutions that reinforce state grids and accelerate India’s transition to sustainable energy. Through these developments, Hindustan Power continues to establish itself as a key player in India’s clean-energy landscape, supporting energy security while contributing to the nation’s shift toward sustainable power generation.
