SAEL Industries Ltd, a vertically integrated renewable energy company, has commissioned a 1 GWp solar power project at the world’s largest Renewable Energy Park in Khavda, Gujarat, taking the group’s total operational capacity beyond 2 GWp.
The project has been developed through SAEL’s subsidiaries—SAEL Solar P4 Private Limited and SAEL Solar P5 Private Limited—with capacities of 400 MW and 500 MWp respectively. Spread across nearly 3,600 acres, the projects are backed by 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL), providing long-term revenue visibility.
The solar plants deploy over 1.5 million TOPCon bifacial modules. More than 60 per cent of the modules were assembled at SAEL’s manufacturing facilities in Punjab and Rajasthan, aligning with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Commenting on the development, Laxit Awla, CEO and Executive Director, SAEL Industries Ltd, said the Khavda Renewable Energy Park reflects India’s ambition to emerge as a global renewable energy hub. He added that large-scale clean energy projects would help reduce dependence on conventional power sources, create green jobs, and support India’s non-fossil fuel targets for 2030.
Located near India’s western frontier, the Khavda projects were executed in challenging conditions, including saline soil and seasonal flooding, with parts of the site submerged under nearly one metre of water during peak monsoon periods.
The commissioning further strengthens SAEL’s presence across the renewable energy value chain. In November 2025, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) allotted 200 acres to the company for setting up an integrated 5 GW solar cell and 5 GW module manufacturing facility.
