Hindustan Power builds up solar portfolio in Punjab

India-based energy company, Hindustan Power led by Ratul Puri, bagged a significant solar power project in Punjab, thereby bringing more achievements to its expanding renewable energy portfolio. The latest project awarded to Hindustan Power is a 100 MW AC solar power project which is awarded by Punjab State Power Corp. Ltd. The project will need the setup of around 140–150 MWp of solar power capacity.

The project came as a result of a competitive bid awarded through a tariff-based competitive bidding process and then through a successful e-reverse auction. It further emphasizes the involvement of Hindustan Power in the competitive renewable energy market of India where companies are emphasizing on pricing and execution efficiency.

In recent times, there is growing interest for solar energy projects in Punjab. In line with that, with the current solar project, the energy company gets another addition to its renewable portfolio.

25-year PPA and project completion timeline

In accordance with the terms of the project, Hindustan Power will sign a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Punjab State Power Corp. Ltd. It is anticipated that the PPA will ensure the financial stability of the organization, which in turn will facilitate the supply of sustainable power to the state of Punjab.

The completion of the project will take place within two years after signing the PPA. After completing the construction of the facility, it will add more capacity to the renewable sources of energy in Punjab to meet the growing electricity requirements.

Power purchase agreements with long terms are still vital in the Indian renewable energy industry as they provide stability to both the companies and the power generating utilities in India.


Value creation and implementation by Ratul Puri

In the new Punjab Solar Energy project, Hindustan Power further increases its presence in renewable energy sources and is consistent with the strategy of the company towards increasing its renewable energy generation capabilities in India.

“This project is a testament to our commitment towards engaging in competitive bidding wherein there is a synergy between pricing discipline and implementation expertise. This project enables us to enhance our portfolio with quality projects while adhering to our philosophy of creating value over time,” explained Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power.

Punjab remains a key market for Hindustan Power

Punjab is a key market for Hindustan Power because of the continuous demand for reliable energy.

“Punjab remains an important market for us, with steady demand for reliable and clean power. Through this project, we aim to contribute meaningfully to the state’s energy mix while further strengthening our operational footprint in the region,” added Ratul Puri.

He further stated that the company’s immediate priority is to deliver the project on schedule and ensure consistent performance throughout its lifecycle.

With this latest win, Hindustan Power continues to strengthen its position in India’s renewable energy sector while expanding its presence in one of the country’s key power markets.
