Orient Green Power Company Limited (OGPCL) announced the commissioning of its first solar power installation, marking a significant expansion of the company’s renewable energy portfolio. The project has been executed by its subsidiary, Delta Renewable Energy Private Limited (DELTA), following the capital raised through a Rights Issue to support the development of a 25 MW AC solar initiative.

Under this programme, DELTA has brought a 7 MW AC solar plant into operation at Krishnasamudhram Village in Tiruttani Taluk, Tiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu. The facility received its service connection on December 5, 2025, and was commissioned the next day after the completion of all required procedures. This development signals OGPCL’s formal entry into the solar power sector, expanding its presence beyond wind energy and aligning with the company’s long-term diversification strategy.

The new solar plant is expected to cater to the rising power needs of existing clients while creating opportunities to reach a broader customer base. It will run under the Group Captive Model, with the generated electricity supplied to DELTA’s captive shareholders.

By adding solar capacity, OGPCL strengthens its ability to offer a balanced mix of renewable energy solutions, improves long-term revenue stability, and enhances its position in the rapidly evolving clean-energy market in India. The commissioning also underscores the company’s commitment to contributing to national goals for cleaner and more sustainable power generation.

DELTA is currently working on securing land for the remaining 18 MW AC portion of the project, which will complete the planned 25 MW AC capacity. Additional information will be shared as the project progresses through its next stages of development. Orient Green Power Company Limited continues to focus on disciplined, sustainable growth and on expanding its footprint across India’s renewable energy landscape. Delta Renewable Energy Private Limited, OGPCL’s solar-focused arm, remains dedicated to driving the company’s transition toward a stronger and more diverse clean-energy framework.
