Gujarat, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) has announced the full commercial operation of its 150 MW Dayapar Wind Energy Project (Phase-I) in Bhuj, marking a significant stride in India’s clean energy transition. The commissioning of the final 6 MW tranche underscores the nation’s accelerating shift towards sustainable power sources, aligning with ambitious targets for zero-net-carbon emissions and fostering environmentally conscious urban and industrial development across the country.
This milestone completes the entire 150 MW capacity of the Dayapar Wind Project, a crucial component of the larger 450 MW Hybrid Renewable Energy Project being spearheaded by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL), a subsidiary of NGEL. The phased execution, with initial tranches commissioned in November 2023 and April 2025, demonstrates a systematic approach to expanding India’s renewable energy portfolio. This consistent growth in wind power capacity solidifies India’s position as a global leader in the clean energy market.
With the full commissioning of the Dayapar Wind Project, the NTPC Group’s total installed and commercial capacity has now reached an impressive 82,902 MW. This substantial increase in green energy generation capacity is vital for reducing India’s reliance on fossil fuels, thereby mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. The operational update, formally disclosed to both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE Limited, reflects the transparency and commitment of India’s largest integrated power producer towards its long-term renewable roadmap.
NTPC Limited, through its subsidiaries NGEL and NREL, is aggressively expanding its presence across solar, wind, and emerging clean energy technologies. The company’s ambitious target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 positions it as a key driver of India’s energy transition strategy. Such large-scale renewable energy projects are fundamental to supporting sustainable economic growth, ensuring energy security, and providing reliable, clean power to both industrial and residential consumers.
The development of projects like Dayapar Wind Energy contributes directly to the creation of eco-friendly and sustainable cities. By generating clean electricity, these installations reduce the carbon footprint of urban areas, alleviate pressure on conventional power sources, and promote a healthier environment. Furthermore, the strategic location of such projects in states like Gujarat, known for their high wind potential, leverages natural resources efficiently, ensuring that India’s energy growth is both robust and environmentally responsible. This commitment to green power is essential for building a resilient and prosperous future for all.
