PM Modi to Launch NLC India’s 300 MW Barsingsar Solar Power Plant

PM Modi is set to inaugurate NLC India Limited’s USD 211 million (INR 1756 crore) 300 MW solar power project at Barsingsar, Bikaner District, Rajasthan. NLC India, a leading company under the Ministry of Coal, is spearheading this initiative as part of the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy's CPSU Scheme. NLCIL holds the distinction of being the first CPSU (Central Public Sector Undertaking) to achieve a 1 GW solar capacity milestone in India.

The company secured 510 MW of solar power capacity in the CPSU scheme Phase 2 Tranche-3 issued by the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) through competitive bidding. This launch aligns with India's ambitious target of achieving 450 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030. The project holds immense potential, not only for clean energy generation but also for job creation and economic development in the region.

The electricity produced will be transmitted through the pre-existing power transmission lines of Barsingsar Thermal Power Station, which aims to produce around 750 million units of green power annually. The power usage agreement for the project has been signed with Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited at a competitive tariff of INR 2.52 per unit for the next 25 years.

The Barsingsar plant boasts cutting-edge technology, featuring high-efficiency bifacial modules manufactured domestically. This not only promotes sustainability but also strengthens India's self-reliance on solar technology. Scheduled for commissioning by September 2024, the plant is poised to play a key role in providing affordable power to government entities.
