Hindustan Power Wins SECI Bid for 150 MW Solar Project with 300 MWh Battery Storage

Hindustan Power has secured a major bid from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to develop a solar and battery energy storage project with a contracted capacity of 150 MW of solar power. The project will involve installing around 300 MWp of solar capacity and a 300 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

Chairman Ratul Puri said the project aligns with the company’s strategy to build flexible, storage-led renewable assets that will shape India’s future clean-energy infrastructure.

The project was awarded under the ‘SECI–ISTS–XX’ tender for ISTS-connected Solar PV projects with integrated BESS. It was secured through a tariff-based competitive bidding process, followed by an e-Reverse Auction on the ETS portal. Designed for flexible deployment, the project can be set up at suitable locations across India.

Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power, said, “This project reflects our continuous commitment to advancing India’s transition toward a modern, flexible and future-ready energy ecosystem. Our focus remains on building assets that deliver stability and efficiency, as we continue to build future-ready energy infrastructure that supports India’s clean-energy ambitions.”

This development marks another step forward in Hindustan Power’s efforts to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio and contribute to India’s clean energy goals. The integration of solar generation with battery storage will enable enhanced grid reliability, improved power management during peak hours, and a more stable supply of clean energy.

By combining solar power with advanced storage, Hindustan Power continues to support national goals for sustainability, energy security, and the delivery of clean power. The company is currently developing clean-energy projects across various parts of India. It is commissioning a 435 MW solar project in Uttar Pradesh, a 100 MW solar power plant along with a state-of-the-art 100 MW battery-energy storage system in Assam, and a 120 MWh battery-storage project in Bihar. The company has also secured a new contract from SJVN Limited to build a 100 MW solar project paired with a 200 MWh battery-storage system. Together, these projects reflect Hindustan Power’s commitment to expanding India’s clean-energy footprint.
