GAIL to Invest Rs 3,800 Cr in 700 MW Solar Projects Across UP and Maharashtra

GAIL (India) Limited has announced plans to invest Rs 3,800 crore to develop 700 MW of solar power capacity across Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, as part of its clean energy and net-zero strategy.

The company will set up a 600 MW solar project integrated with a 550 MWh battery energy storage system at the TUSCO Solar Park. The project will primarily cater to the captive energy needs of its petrochemical plant at Pata.

In addition, GAIL will develop a 100 MW solar project with a 22 MWh storage system in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar to support its PDH-PP plant in Raigad.

The projects aim to enhance renewable energy capacity while ensuring reliable, round-the-clock power supply through integrated storage solutions.

Upon commissioning, GAIL’s total installed renewable energy capacity is expected to increase to over 1,000 MW from the current 147 MW, significantly strengthening its green energy portfolio.
