Havells India has partnered with Kundan Green Energy to develop a 15 MW AC solar project in Rajasthan for captive power consumption. The project will be implemented through Kundan Solar (Pali), a special purpose vehicle (SPV) created to develop, install, operate, and maintain solar power plants.

KPI Green Energy has secured EPC contract for a 142 MW DC (110 MW AC) floating solar project from Gujarat State Electricity Corp. Ltd (GSECL).

India witnessed above-average precipitation and prolonged cloud cover through July and August, limiting the potential of PV generation across many states. Several regions, including Punjab, Haryana, and the Himalayan foothills, were hit hardest by flooding and thunderstorms. The increase in atmospheric moisture and aerosol scattering led to reduced Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) and reduced energy output.

Standard Chartered and British International Investment’s (BII) financing will enable Apraava to install around two million smart meters in homes and businesses. The smart meters will help make India’s grid more efficient, reliable, and sustainable by enabling better integration of renewable energy sources and reducing aggregate technical and commercial losses.

About 11 GW of solar modules were shipped to the Indian market in Q3 2025 by 28 major players—both domestic and international—with Waaree leading the supplies at approximately 1.4 GW, according to the latest JMK Research report.

Recyclability has to be considered a core engineering constraint by the battery industry. Adhesives and composites use could be reduced along with designing packs with cell visibility and enabling cell level separation should be a thing of the future. Standardization, which has been avoided for competitiveness for now, must be implemented since that will actually reduce costs across the value chain in the long term.

Bondada Engineering Ltd has announced the successful commissioning of 48.47 MWp of solar power projects for Paradigm IT, MAHAGENCO, and NLC India Ltd.

India added 6.1 GW of open-access (off-site commercial and industrial) solar capacity in the first nine months (9M) of calendar year (CY) 2025, up around 13% from the 5.4 GW installed during 9M 2024—according to a new report by Mercom.

HG Infra Engineering’s arm H.G. Choraniya Bess has entered into a battery energy storage purchase agreement with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL) for a 300 MW/600 MWh BESS on long term basis.

Emmvee Photovoltaic Power has reported that its consolidated revenue for the first half of FY 2026 surged 193.5% year-on-year to INR 2,159 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) for H1 jumped 578.6% to INR 425.5 crore.
