The projects completed in a record 11 months
Andhra Pradesh marked a major milestone in its clean energy journey with the commissioning of SAEL Industries’ 600 MW AC solar power projects in Rayalaseema.
This as per the state government is one of the first large-scale renewable energy projects to be completed under the state’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024.
The projects were inaugurated today by Mr Nara Lokesh, Cabinet Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Real Time Governance and Human Resources Development, Government of Andhra Pradesh, in the presence of Mr Gottipati Ravi Kumar, Minister for Energy, Government of Andhra Pradesh.
Built with an investment of approximately Rs 3,000 crore, the projects comprise two 300 MW AC solar facilities developed by SAEL subsidiaries SAEL Solar MHP1 Private Limited and SAEL Solar MHP2 Private Limited across nearly 2,400 acres in Kurnool district.
The projects were completed in a record 11 months, reinforcing Andhra Pradesh’s emerging reputation for speed-driven industrial execution and investor-friendly governance.
The facilities will supply renewable power directly to the national grid under 25-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), supporting India’s long-term clean energy transition while strengthening the country’s renewable power capacity.
The projects are expected to offset nearly 11 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually and deploy more than 12 lakhs advanced TOPCon bifacial solar modules, the majority of which were assembled at SAEL’s manufacturing facilities in Punjab and Rajasthan.
“It is a matter of pride for Andhra Pradesh that the first project under our forward-looking Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024 is now being commissioned. Our government is committed to positioning Andhra Pradesh as India’s clean energy capital, with a target of attracting Rs 10 lakh crore in green energy investments over the coming years” said AP’s chief minister Mr N Chandrababu Naidu in a message.
Speaking at the inauguration, Minister Mr. Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh is rapidly emerging as a national hub for renewable energy, green manufacturing, storage technologies, and future-ready industrial ecosystems.
“Projects like SAEL’s demonstrate the confidence that leading investors have in Andhra Pradesh’s policy stability, infrastructure readiness, and execution capability. We are not just laying foundation stones — we are ensuring projects are commissioned at speed and scale.
Andhra Pradesh is building a globally competitive clean energy ecosystem that will power industries, data centers, manufacturing clusters, and India’s broader energy transition,” he said.
Similarly, Energy Minister Mr. Gottipati Ravi Kumar said the state government is committed to creating reliable and affordable energy infrastructure capable of supporting Andhra Pradesh’s expanding industrial base and future energy requirements.
SAEL Industries leadership highlighted Andhra Pradesh’s emergence as one of India’s most attractive destinations for renewable energy investments due to policy clarity, infrastructure support, and efficient project facilitation.
Mr Sukhbir Awla, Co-Founder and Director, SAEL Industries, said Andhra Pradesh has become a key growth engine in India’s renewable energy transition and continues to inspire long-term investor confidence in clean energy infrastructure.
