SAEL Commissions 1 GWp Solar Project at World’s Largest RE Park; Total Operational Capacity Crosses 2 GWp

SAEL Industries Ltd. (SAEL), a vertically integrated renewable energy company, has commissioned a 1 GWp (800 MW) solar power project at the world’s largest Renewable Energy Park in Khavda, Gujarat. With this milestone, SAEL’s total operational renewable energy capacity has crossed 2 GWp.

The project has been developed through SAEL’s subsidiaries—SAEL Solar P4 Private Limited and SAEL Solar P5 Private Limited—each with a capacity of 400 MW (500 MWp). The solar projects are backed by 25-year long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL), ensuring stable and predictable revenue streams.

Spread across nearly 3,600 acres near India’s western frontier, the projects deploy over 15 lakh TOPCon bifacial solar modules. More than 60 per cent of these modules were assembled at SAEL’s manufacturing facilities in Punjab and Rajasthan, aligning with the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.

Commenting on the development, Laxit Awla, CEO & Executive Director, SAEL Industries Ltd., said that the Khavda Renewable Energy Park reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of positioning India as a global renewable energy powerhouse. He added that large-scale clean energy deployment at Khavda would reduce dependence on conventional power sources, generate green employment, and support India’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

The Khavda projects also underline SAEL’s engineering and execution capabilities, having been delivered in challenging conditions marked by saline soil and seasonal flooding, where parts of the site experience water levels of nearly one metre during the monsoon.

The commissioning further strengthens SAEL’s presence across the renewable energy value chain. In November 2025, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) allotted 200 acres of land to SAEL for setting up an integrated manufacturing facility comprising 5 GW solar cell and 5 GW module capacity—aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing, creating employment, and reducing import dependence.
