NTPC Green launches 17.5 GWh battery storage tenders across three Indian states

The tender package includes 7,800 MWh at the NTPC REL Bikaner solar plant in Rajasthan, 3,300 MWh and another 3,200 MWh package at Khavda in Gujarat, plus 3,200 MWh at Fatehgarh in Uttar Pradesh. Winners must deliver turnkey EPC and 15 years of O&M, with batteries designed for 25 years and a minimum 10,000 operating cycles. The requirement for guaranteed dispatchable capacity across 15 years shows how India is moving from pure solar capacity growth toward firm, grid-supporting renewable power.
