India’s renewable energy sector continues to witness strong momentum as ACME Solar Holdings Limited has successfully secured a major project from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The company recently announced that it has bagged a large-scale renewable energy contract, strengthening its position in India’s clean energy transition.
Project Details
ACME Solar has received a Letter of Award (LOA) from SECI for setting up a 301 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project. The project is part of SECI’s FDRE Tranche VII program, which focuses on ensuring reliable renewable power supply by combining solar, wind, and energy storage technologies.
The total value of the order is approximately ₹1,900 crore, making it a significant addition to ACME Solar’s project portfolio.
Commercial and Operational Timeline
The project will be developed under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with key timelines including:
Commercial Operation Deadline: Within 24 months from signing the PPA
Project Tenure: 25 years from the date of PPA signing
This long-term agreement provides stable revenue visibility for the company and supports India’s renewable energy infrastructure expansion.
Tariff and Project Structure
The company will supply renewable power at a tariff of ₹6.28 per unit, ensuring predictable pricing for energy procurement. FDRE projects are especially important because they guarantee peak-hour renewable energy supply, which helps improve grid stability and reduces dependence on conventional power sources.
Strategic Importance for ACME Solar
This contract reinforces ACME Solar’s growing role in India’s renewable energy ecosystem. The order has been awarded in the ordinary course of business, and the counterparty, SECI, is a domestic government entity. Importantly, there are no related-party transactions or promoter group interests involved in this agreement, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory standards.
Strengthening India’s Green Energy Vision
India has set ambitious renewable energy targets, and projects like this play a crucial role in achieving those goals. FDRE projects help address one of the biggest challenges in renewable energy — ensuring reliable power supply during peak demand hours.
By securing this contract, ACME Solar not only expands its project pipeline but also contributes to India’s mission of building a sustainable and low-carbon energy future.
