Tata Power Arm Commissions 198 MW Wind Project in Tamil Nadu Under Group Captive Model

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited has completed and commissioned a large wind energy project in Tamil Nadu as part of its group captive partnership with Tata Steel. 

The project strengthens renewable power supply for industrial use and adds to Tata Power’s growing clean energy portfolio, while contributing to emission reduction and long-term sustainability objectives.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Project Overview

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has commissioned a 198 MW wind energy project in Karur district of Tamil Nadu. 

Developed under the group captive framework, the project will supply renewable electricity to Tata Steel, supporting its clean energy sourcing strategy.

Capacity and Power Supply

The project consists of 55 wind turbine generators, each with a capacity of 3.6 MW. It is expected to generate around 31 million units of renewable electricity annually, contributing to a steady green power supply for industrial operations.

Environmental Impact

According to the company, the project is estimated to offset nearly 26,350 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. This supports Tata Steel’s decarbonisation efforts and aligns with broader sustainability goals across the Tata Group.

Execution and Project Management

TPREL executed the project using a self-EPC approach, managing engineering, construction, transmission infrastructure and balance-of-plant activities internally. The company highlighted that this approach allowed tighter control over timelines and coordination across multiple workstreams.

Despite logistical and geological challenges, including transportation of large turbine components and hard rock excavation, the project progressed through detailed planning and engineering solutions.

Timelines and Milestones

Foundation work for the wind turbines was completed in 126 days, while turbine installation was finalised within 167 days. These timelines reflect the company’s execution capability in managing large-scale renewable energy projects.

Portfolio Expansion and Sector Context

TPREL’s wind energy portfolio now exceeds 3.7 GW, with over 1.2 GW operational and the remaining capacity under development across multiple states. At a group level, Tata Power’s total renewable portfolio stands at 15.7 GW, of which 6.9 GW is sourced from clean energy.

The commissioning of this project contributes to India’s broader renewable energy targets and supports Tata Power’s objective of transitioning towards cleaner sources over the long term.

Share Price Performance

Shares of Tata Power Company Limited were trading higher in morning trade on 3 February. The stock was quoted at ₹366.95, up 2.27%, after opening at ₹367.30.
