New Delhi: SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), the renewable energy arm of SJVN, has achieved Commercial Operation Date (COD) for an additional 78.23 MW capacity of the 1000 MW Bikaner Solar Power Project. This follows the earlier commissioning of 241.77 MW (Phase-1) on 2 April 2025.
Located in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district, the project is being developed under the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme – Phase II, Tranche III, of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India. The full 1000 MW capacity is expected to be commissioned by the third quarter of 2025.
