Jindal Stainless Seals 282-MW Hybrid Renewable Power Deal With Oyster
Indian stainless-steel leader Jindal Stainless Ltd has struck a 25-year group-captive power purchase agreement with Oyster Renewable Energy that will channel 700 million kWh of clean electricity a year to the company’s mills and melt shops, slashing its reliance on grid power and volatile tariffs. The energy will come from a 282-MW interstate wind–solar hybrid complex now taking shape across Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
The project is split between an 82-MW wind farm and a 135-MWp solar array at Agar in Madhya Pradesh, plus a 99-MW wind site at coastal Bhuj in Gujarat, all tied together by India’s Green Energy Corridor for round-the-clock delivery. To execute the scheme the partners have formed Oyster Green Hybrid One Pvt Ltd, in which Jindal has bought a 33.64 % stake for an initial ₹792 million, rising to about ₹1.32 billion as milestones are hit. Construction is being financed by a ₹15.17 billion loan from the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, with commercial operation targeted for the third quarter of FY 2025-26.
When the turbines and trackers begin spinning in tandem, Jindal expects its annual carbon footprint to shrink by roughly 700,000 tonnes of CO₂—the same impact as planting 30 million mature trees—and to save materially on energy costs. The deal marks the company’s largest single step toward its net-zero 2050 roadmap and echoes India’s wider push to green hard-to-abate industrial sectors through hybrid and round-the-clock renewable contracts.
The agreement builds on a flurry of recent initiatives by the Gurugram-based producer: a 7.3-MW floating solar plant already powering its Jajpur works, 6.5 MW of rooftop PV at Hisar, a fledgling green-hydrogen pilot, and memoranda for hundreds of megawatts of additional renewable supply. Together they underscore how corporate buyers are leveraging new financing tools and group-captive rules to lock in affordable, emissions-free electricity at scale—while giving India’s renewable build-out yet another industrial anchor tenant.

NTPC Floats 2.5-GW Module Tenders To Accelerate India’s Solar Surge
India’s biggest power producer, NTPC, is putting out feelers for a huge batch of solar panels—2.5 GW in total—as it races to bulk-up the nation’s clean-energy muscle. One order covers 1.5 GW of panels for the sun-soaked Bikaner park in Rajasthan; the other seeks 1 GW for projects in Lalitpur and Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh.
NTPC isn’t after just any panels. It wants high-efficiency, bifacial crystalline-silicon modules rated at 570 W or more. These two-sided panels can catch reflected light from the ground as well as direct sunlight, squeezing extra power out of every square metre—handy when grid connections and land are both at a premium. Interested suppliers have to get their bids in by 19 August, with the first deliveries pencilled in for early 2026.
Once known mainly for coal, NTPC has promised 60 GW of renewables by 2032, helping India hit its 500 GW non-fossil goal. To keep costs down, the company now orders hardware in giant, gigawatt-scale lots, a move that also nudges manufacturers to build more of the supply chain at home under India’s Production-Linked Incentive programme.
Analysts say NTPC’s bifacial requirement is no accident. In Rajasthan’s bright, sandy desert, rear-side generation can lift yearly output by around 10–12 percent—especially if the modules sit on single-axis trackers that follow the sun across the sky.
The tender comes as New Delhi rolls out fresh support for solar, from scrapping import duties on solar-grade glass to sweetening subsidies for battery storage that can soak up midday oversupply and feed power back after dark. Future phases of NTPC’s projects are expected to bolt storage onto these parks, shaving the need for expensive gas peaker plants.
Would-be suppliers do face strings: meet domestic-content rules or pay stiff duties. That hurdle is likely to spark a bidding war among home-grown heavyweights such as Adani Solar, Waaree, and Vikram Solar, while overseas brands look to joint-venture routes to stay in the game.
