Hybrid solar-wind project with 1,000 MWh battery storage to deliver round-the-clock clean power to REMCL by 2028
Rays Power Infra Limited has won a major contract to develop a 200 MW round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy project through its subsidiary Bhalki Solar Power Private Limited.
The project will supply uninterrupted green power to Railways Energy Management Company Limited, marking a significant step in India’s clean energy transition.
The project will combine over 700 MW of solar and wind capacity, backed by more than 1,000 MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), ensuring continuous power supply.
With an estimated addition of around ₹5,000 crore to Rays Power Infra’s order book, the project is scheduled for commissioning by June 2028.
As part of its integrated approach, Rays Power Infra will utilize solar modules manufactured using cells from its upcoming facility under Rays Green Energy, currently under development in Madhya Pradesh.
The company will also deploy its own solar and wind parks to execute the project.
The RTC renewable energy framework is expected to unlock new opportunities across emerging sectors such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, and AI-powered data centres, which require consistent and high-volume energy supply.
Ketan Mehta, Managing Director of Rays Power Infra, said the project reflects years of groundwork in developing co-located solar-wind hybrid sites. He highlighted that the company’s strategy has improved cost efficiency and optimized infrastructure usage, enabling competitive tariffs in the renewable energy sector.
Vaibhav Roongta, Chief Business Officer, added that the RTC model aligns with India’s vision of building a 24×7 green power ecosystem. He noted that the integration of diverse renewable assets with advanced storage solutions will strengthen grid stability, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and support national decarbonisation goals.
The project underscores the growing role of hybrid renewable systems and storage-backed solutions in delivering reliable clean energy for large-scale consumers like the Indian Railways.
