Reliance Power Limited has achieved a major milestone in India’s renewable energy space as its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliance NU Energies Private Limited, emerged as the largest winner in SJVN Limited’s landmark 1500 MW / 6000 MWh Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) ISTS tender. The company received the Letter of Award (LOA) on November 10, 2025, marking a significant achievement for the group’s clean energy ambitions.
In this first-of-its-kind FDRE tender, Reliance NU Energies secured a capacity of 750 MW / 3,000 MWh, representing the largest single allocation under the project. The tender, which was oversubscribed 3.3 times with participation from 14 qualified bidders, aims to revolutionize India’s renewable energy landscape by enabling round-the-clock power supply through hybrid and storage-based solutions.
With this win, the Reliance Group has strengthened its position as India’s largest player in the Solar plus Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) segment. The group now holds a total renewable energy portfolio of more than 4 GWp of solar capacity and 6.5 GWh of BESS across four tenders, achieved in just ten months. This rapid progress reflects Reliance’s strong execution capabilities and its clear commitment to India’s clean energy transition and decarbonization goals.
The project will supply dispatchable renewable peaking power to DISCOMs through a hybrid configuration combining around 900 MWp of solar generation with over 3,000 MWh of battery storage capacity. Reliance NU Energies secured this capacity at a highly competitive tariff of ₹6.74 per kWh, setting a new benchmark in the evolving renewable energy market of India.
The SJVN FDRE tender marks a pioneering moment in the country’s power sector, being the first structured initiative to deliver renewable peaking power across states. It will play a vital role in supporting India’s targets of expanding renewable energy generation and reducing carbon emissions.
This project also aligns perfectly with Reliance Power’s long-term vision of transitioning toward cleaner energy sources. By focusing on large-scale, storage-backed renewable energy generation, the company continues to drive sustainable value creation for all stakeholders while contributing to India’s journey toward energy independence and a greener future.
