ENGIE commissions 450 MW of solar capacity in India

Oct 30: ENGIE announces that two major solar projects are now fully operational in India: the 250 MW Khaba project in Rajasthan and the 200 MW Khavda project in Gujarat, representing a combined capacity of 450 MW.

These two assets further strengthen the Group’s renewable footprint in the country and demonstrate its ability to deliver large-scale developments while supporting local communities and contributing to regional economic activity, with approximately 80% of the construction workforce hired locally.

This milestone comes amid strong momentum in India, where ENGIE has secured its first battery storage projects: a 280 MW / 560 MWh BESS in November 2025 and, in January 2026, a hybrid project combining 200 MW of solar with a 100 MW / 600 MWh battery storage system.

With around 2 GW in operation or under construction in the country, the Group continues to grow its presence in India, bringing together renewable generation and flexibility solutions to help meet growing demand for reliable, low-carbon electricity.

Amit Jain, CEO & Country Manager India, Managing Director Renewables & Batteries SEA, ENGIE said:

“The commissioning of the Khaba and Khavda solar projects marks an important milestone for ENGIE in India, adding 450 MW of new renewable capacity to our operational portfolio. Delivering projects of this scale requires strong execution, operational discipline and close collaboration with local communities. With the majority of our construction workforce hired locally, these projects also reflect our commitment to creating value beyond clean energy generation. As India’s energy needs evolve, we remain focused on building reliable, high-quality renewable infrastructure across solar, battery storage and hybrid solutions to support a cleaner, more resilient and energy-secure future for the country.”

Pedro Vasconcelos, ENGIE Executive Vice President in charge of Renewable & Flexible Power, said:

“India is a key growth market for ENGIE, where we are continuing to build scale and momentum as we contribute to one of the world’s major energy transitions. As the market evolves, we also see increasing opportunities in corporate PPAs and in combining renewable generation with more sophisticated energy management and flexibility solutions. Our ambition is to build on this momentum and use these capabilities to create additional value for our customers and for ENGIE.”

250 MW Khaba solar project, Rajasthan

Located in Barmer, Rajasthan, the 250 MW Khaba solar project has been developed through Khaba Renewable Energy Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ENGIE. Each year, the project will generate approximately 650 GWh of electricity and avoid nearly 180 kilotonnes of CO₂ emissions.

200 MW Khavda solar project, Gujarat

Located within the Khavda Renewable Energy Park in the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, the 200 MW solar photovoltaic park has been developed through Enren II Energy Private Limited. The project, contracted to supply electricity to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), will generate approximately 350 GWh of electricity annually.
