GAIL (India) Limited, India’s leading integrated energy company, has signed contract agreements with TUSCO Limited for the development of a 600 MW solar power project at TUSCO’s Solar Park in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. The agreements were signed by Parivesh Chugh, Executive Director (Sustainable Development & Renewables), GAIL, and Anil Tyagi, CEO, TUSCO Ltd., in the presence of Shri R. K. Singhal, Director (Business Development), GAIL; Neeraj Verma, Executive Director, THDC; and other senior officials from both organizations.
The project will include a 550 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enhancing reliability and efficiency. The generated power will primarily meet the captive energy requirements of GAIL’s petrochemical plant at Pata in Auraiya district, Uttar Pradesh. It will also support additional demand arising from the electrification of gas-based equipment and the development of Compressed Biogas (CBG) plants in the state.
Speaking on the occasion, RK Singhal stated, “This solar project reflects GAIL’s commitment to diversifying into low-carbon and sustainable energy solutions.” He further emphasized that the initiative reinforces GAIL’s strategic expansion in Uttar Pradesh.
This project marks a significant step in GAIL’s transition toward cleaner energy and its broader vision of sustainable growth. GAIL (India) Limited is India’s largest state-owned natural gas company and a leading integrated energy player.
Established in 1984, it operates across the natural gas value chain, including transmission, distribution, processing, and marketing. GAIL also has a strong presence in petrochemicals, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and renewable energy. The company owns and operates an extensive pipeline network spanning thousands of kilometers, enabling energy access across the country. In recent years, GAIL has been actively diversifying into sustainable and low-carbon energy solutions, including solar, hydrogen, and biofuels, aligning with India’s clean energy transition goals and long-term energy security strategy.
