ACME Solar Holdings Limited, through its subsidiary ACME Renewtech Private Limited, has commissioned an additional 66.68 MW of solar power capacity at its hybrid project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The addition takes the project’s total operational capacity to 200.04 MW, with the Commercial Operation Date (COD) scheduled for November 4, 2026.

Located at Kelan village in Bikaner, the project forms part of ACME Solar’s expanding renewable energy portfolio. The latest commissioning milestone takes the company’s overall operational capacity to approximately 3,190 MW, strengthening its position in India’s renewable energy sector.

The hybrid project combines solar and wind power generation. The addition of wind capacity is expected to complement solar generation and provide a more diversified renewable energy profile. By integrating different renewable sources, the project is designed to contribute to a more balanced generation mix.

ACME Renewtech has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with NTPC Limited for the project at a tariff of ₹3.36 per kWh. The company expects to progressively operationalise the entire 300 MW solar component of the project by the end of the third quarter of FY27.

The latest capacity addition reflects ACME Solar’s focus on expanding its renewable energy portfolio through solar, wind and hybrid projects. The company is also developing capabilities in energy storage and firm and dispatchable renewable energy solutions as it works towards a diversified generation portfolio.
