New Delhi: In a major milestone for India's renewable energy sector, the Gandhar Solar PV Project, developed by NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation), will successfully commission its second part, adding 10 MW of capacity to the project, said the Maharatna PSU in a regulatory filing. The commercial operation of this additional capacity officially commenced on June 7 at 12 hours, said the filing.
This achievement follows the earlier declaration of the first part of the project, consisting of 10 MW, which commenced commercial operation on August 23, 2022.
