NTPC Green Energy has declared commercial operation for a further 95.6 MW at the Kalasar Solar Energy Project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The fifth portion of the project became commercial at midnight on 30 October 2026, according to an exchange filing issued the previous day.
Kalasar is being developed through NTPC Renewable Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy. The filing places the addition within a 650 MW solar component serving a wider 500 MW REMCL round-the-clock power project.
Those figures describe different parts of the scheme: the solar generating component and the wider round-the-clock project should not be added together as if they were separate new capacity announcements.
NTPC Green Energy said the addition increases the group’s total installed capacity to 11,424.29 MW. The filing quoted commercial capacity of 11,328.69 MW before the new tranche.
The milestone moves another section of Kalasar into commercial service, making it relevant to solar operations, asset management and the supply of renewable power. It does not announce commissioning of the entire 650 MW solar component or all elements of the round-the-clock scheme.
