Mahindra Susten Commissions 560 MWp Solar Power Projects in CY 2025, Reinforcing Leadership in Utility-Scale Renewable Energy

Mumbai, December 30, 2025: Mahindra Susten, a leading renewable energy IPP (Independent Power Producer), today announced that the company has successfully commissioned 560 MWp of solar capacity in CY 2025. These large utility-scale solar power projects mark the first batch of assets developed and commissioned by the company following the sale of 1.54 GWp of assets in 2024 to Sustainable Energy Infra Trust, an InvIT co-sponsored by Mahindra Susten as part of its efficient, capital-light business model. 

The portfolio addition comprises two strategically located projects—a 280 MWp solar plant in Gujarat and a 280 MWp facility in Rajasthan—both selling power under 25-year long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) and Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (RUVNL), respectively. 

 

Project Overview

Together, the Gujarat and Rajasthan projects span close to 2,000 acres and are designed to deliver reliable utility-scale power to the state grids. Across both sites, Mahindra Susten has deployed the latest-generation N-Type TOPCon bifacial modules, integrated with high-efficiency inverters, dry-cleaning solutions, and optimised balance-of-system configurations to maximise energy yield over the asset life. Power is evacuated through 220 kV substations, ensuring high grid availability and seamless integration with high-voltage state grids. 

The combined 560 MWp portfolio is expected to generate close to 1,000 million units (MUs) of clean electricity annually, utilising approximately 12,400 tonnes of steel, 2,600 km of cabling, and around 1 million solar modules. Execution of these projects involved a peak workforce of about 1,000 people and was completed with 2.9 million safe man-hours, underscoring Mahindra Susten’s strong focus on safety, quality, and disciplined project management. 

Avinash Rao, MD & CEO of Mahindra Susten, said, “Commissioning 560 MWp across Gujarat and Rajasthan in 2025 marks yet another major milestone for Mahindra Susten. It reflects our strong execution capabilities and commitment to delivering large-scale renewable assets safely and to the highest standards of quality. Building on 15 years of expertise, we are deepening our presence across utility-scale solar and wind, storage, hybrid, and group-captive projects, reinforcing our pledge to support our nation’s clean energy goals and create lasting value for communities and stakeholders.” 

 

Building Momentum: 2026 and Beyond 

Beyond the 560 MWp commissioned in Gujarat and Rajasthan, Mahindra Susten continues to expand its renewable energy footprint, with several large-scale projects currently under development and execution in states such as Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Karnataka. 

The current project pipeline reflects Mahindra Susten’s diversified approach—spanning utility-scale PPAs, hybrid wind-solar renewable energy solutions, and group-captive open-access projects—positioning the company well to capitalise on India’s evolving energy landscape and support utility and industrial demand for clean power.
