Reliance Industries has officially commenced deliveries from its New Energy business, dispatching the first 200 MWp batch of BIS-certified Heterojunction Technology (HJT) solar modules from its Jamnagar Green Energy Giga Complex. The milestone marks the operational launch of Reliance’s integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem and strengthens India’s domestic clean energy manufacturing capabilities. The company aims to support the country’s growing demand for high-efficiency solar modules while advancing energy self-reliance.


Adani Green Energy Limited has commissioned a 3.37 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at its Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat. The project was deployed in record time and represents one of the largest storage installations in India. The development enhances grid reliability, supports renewable energy integration, and strengthens AGEL’s position in utility-scale clean energy infrastructure as storage becomes increasingly critical for India’s energy transition.


The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has approved a subsidy of ₹1,545.14 crore to support the expansion of free electricity benefits up to 500 units for eligible consumers. The decision is expected to provide significant financial relief while ensuring continued access to affordable electricity. The move reflects the state government’s focus on social welfare and energy accessibility while balancing utility finances through regulatory support mechanisms.


Maharashtra Urja Expo 2026 will take place on 5–6 June in Nagpur, bringing together more than 50 exhibitors, 2,000 industry decision-makers, and over 80 speakers. The event will showcase advancements in solar energy, storage technologies, EV infrastructure, and sustainable energy solutions. It is expected to serve as a major networking and knowledge-sharing platform for stakeholders driving Maharashtra’s renewable energy and clean technology ecosystem.


TNERC has issued draft Battery Energy Storage System Regulations 2026 to accelerate storage deployment across Tamil Nadu. The proposed framework aims to provide regulatory clarity for ownership, operation, grid integration, and procurement of battery storage assets. Industry stakeholders are expected to benefit from a structured policy environment that supports investments and strengthens renewable energy integration, grid flexibility, and long-term power system reliability.


The Meghalaya State Electricity Regulatory Commission (MSERC) has released draft Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) Regulations 2026 aimed at modernizing the state’s tariff determination framework. The proposed regulations seek to improve transparency, efficiency, and financial sustainability across the power sector. By establishing long-term tariff mechanisms and performance benchmarks, the framework is expected to support utility planning and enhance service delivery across Meghalaya.


Andhra Pradesh Renewable Agriculture Power Limited (APRAPL) has approached APERC for a license to supply solar power dedicated to the state’s agriculture sector. The proposal aims to strengthen clean energy adoption in farming operations while reducing dependence on conventional power sources. If approved, the initiative could improve power availability for agricultural consumers and support Andhra Pradesh’s broader renewable energy and sustainability goals.


The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) has proposed a revised tariff framework for small hydro power projects applicable until 2031. The draft framework seeks to ensure investment viability while promoting greater deployment of small hydro resources in the state. By offering long-term regulatory certainty, the proposal is expected to encourage project development and contribute to Gujarat’s renewable energy expansion strategy.


Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions has allotted new equity shares under its Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOP). The allotment reflects the company’s continued focus on employee participation and long-term value creation. ESOP programs remain a key tool for attracting and retaining talent in India’s rapidly growing renewable energy sector while aligning workforce incentives with organizational growth and business performance.


NTPC has commissioned an additional 34.4 MW solar capacity at its Ramagundam facility, taking the NTPC Group’s total installed power generation capacity to 90,807 MW. The expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to accelerating renewable energy deployment while supporting India’s clean energy targets. The project strengthens NTPC’s diversified generation portfolio and contributes to the nation’s ongoing energy transition.


Avaada Electro Limited has been named a Top Performer in the Kiwa PVEL 2026 PV Module Reliability Scorecard for its N-type TOPCon solar modules. The recognition highlights the company’s manufacturing quality, durability, and performance standards. The achievement strengthens Avaada’s position in the competitive solar manufacturing landscape and reflects growing confidence in India-made advanced solar technologies.


Growatt has emphasized the growing importance of hybrid solar and storage solutions in supporting the global energy transition. The company showcased technologies designed to enhance energy flexibility, improve self-consumption, and enable greater integration of renewable resources. As distributed energy systems continue to evolve, hybrid solutions are expected to play a central role in building resilient and efficient power infrastructure.


Loom Solar has introduced a smart solar battery solution tailored for Bihar’s Time-of-Day (ToD) electricity tariff framework. The system enables consumers to optimize energy usage by storing solar power during low-cost periods and utilizing it during peak tariff hours. The launch is expected to help households and businesses reduce electricity costs while encouraging wider adoption of distributed solar energy solutions.
