560 MWp solar capacity commissioned in 2025
Mahindra Susten has commissioned 560 MWp of utility-scale solar power projects during calendar year 2025. This marks the first set of projects developed and brought online by the company after it sold 1.54 GWp of operating assets to Sustainable Energy Infra Trust in 2024 as part of its capital-light strategy. The newly commissioned capacity consists of two solar projects of 280 MWp each, located in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Long-term PPAs and advanced project infrastructure
Power generated from the Gujarat project is supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited, while electricity from the Rajasthan project is contracted to Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited, both under 25-year power purchase agreements. Together, the projects span nearly 2,000 acres and are connected to state grids via 220 kV substations. The installations use N-Type TOPCon bifacial solar modules, high-efficiency inverters and dry-cleaning systems to optimise performance and reduce water usage.
Execution scale, safety record and expansion pipeline
According to the company, the portfolio is expected to generate approximately 1,000 million units of electricity annually. Project execution involved around 12,400 tonnes of steel, 2,600 km of cabling, and close to one million solar modules. Construction activities recorded 2.9 million safe man-hours, with a peak workforce of about 1,000 personnel on site.
Commenting on the development, Avinash Rao, Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Susten, said the commissioning highlights the company’s execution capabilities in large-scale renewable projects, with a strong focus on safety and quality. Mahindra Susten plans to expand across solar, wind, energy storage, hybrid and group-captive projects.
The company is currently developing additional renewable energy projects in Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan and Karnataka, including utility-scale PPAs, hybrid wind-solar assets and group-captive open access projects. Part of the Mahindra Group, Mahindra Susten has over 15 years of experience in renewable energy engineering and construction, with 2.1 GWp of executed IPP capacity and a development pipeline of around 3 GWp.
