Renewable projects account for 1,484 MW of the additions, with the remainder coming from the 300 MW Maruti Clean Coal & Power thermal plant the company acquired in August 2026. That is 90 MW more than on 5 October 2026, as the company works towards a 3 GW renewable addition target for FY27.

Management Comment

Policy Backdrop
Inaugurating the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026 in New Delhi on 2 November 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India had achieved nearly 300 GW towards its target of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030. He announced a goal to add another 500 GW of new non-fossil capacity over the next 10 to 11 years. The Prime Minister also called for indigenous storage hardware and new battery storage capacity to support that growth.
