NLC India Limited (NLCIL), a Navratna public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Coal, on Sunday said it has successfully commissioned the entire 300 MW Barsingsar Solar Power Project in Bikaner district of Rajasthan, marking a major milestone in the company’s renewable energy expansion.
The project has been implemented under the CPSU Scheme of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
While 52.83 MW was commissioned in August 2025 and another 106 MW achieved commercial operation in November 2025, the commissioning of the remaining capacity completes one of NLCIL’s largest solar installations to date, the company said in a release.
With this addition, NLC India’s total renewable energy capacity has risen to 1,766 MW, while its overall installed power generation capacity now stands at 7,726 MW, strengthening its footprint in India’s clean energy sector.
The Barsingsar project has been developed using domestically manufactured, high-efficiency solar PV modules, aligning with the Government of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and reducing reliance on imported equipment.
Power generated from the project will be supplied entirely to the State of Rajasthan, supporting the state’s renewable energy mix and national clean energy targets.
