Mahindra Susten, a private-sector renewable energy producer, has commissioned 560 MWp of utility-scale solar capacity in calendar year 2025 across two projects—280 MWp in Gujarat and 280 MWp in Rajasthan.
The projects supply power under 25-year long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL) and Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (RUVNL), respectively.
These assets represent the first batch of projects developed and commissioned by Mahindra Susten following the sale of 1.54 GWp of operational assets in 2024 to Sustainable Energy Infra Trust (SEIT), an Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) co-sponsored by the company as part of its capital-light business model.
Project Overview
Spanning nearly 2,000 acres across Gujarat and Rajasthan, the projects collectively deploy around one million solar modules. Mahindra Susten has used next-generation n-type TOPCon bifacial modules paired with high-efficiency inverters, dry-cleaning systems, and optimised balance-of-system configurations to maximise long-term energy output. Power evacuation is enabled through 220 kV substations, ensuring high grid availability and seamless integration with state transmission networks.
The combined 560 MWp portfolio is expected to generate approximately 1,000 million units (MUs) of clean electricity annually. Project execution involved a peak workforce of about 1,000 personnel and was completed with 2.9 million safe man-hours.
“Commissioning 560 MWp across Gujarat and Rajasthan in 2025 marks yet another major milestone for Mahindra Susten,” said Avinash Rao, MD & CEO of Mahindra Susten. “It reflects our strong execution capabilities and commitment to delivering large-scale renewable assets safely and to the highest standards of quality. Building on 15 years of expertise, we are deepening our presence across utility-scale solar and wind, storage, hybrid, and group-captive projects, reinforcing our pledge to support our nation’s clean energy goals and create lasting value for communities and stakeholders.”
To date, the Mahindra Group has executed 2.1 GWp of independent power producer (IPP) capacity and maintains a development pipeline of over 3 GWp. In addition to the newly commissioned projects, Mahindra Susten is currently developing and executing large-scale renewable projects in Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Karnataka.
