Marks company’s first hybrid solar-plus-storage project in the country, strengthening grid reliability and round-the-clock clean power
ENGIE has secured a major renewable energy project in India after winning a competitive bid conducted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The project involves a 200 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 100 MW / 600 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), offering six hours of storage capacity.
This award marks ENGIE’s first hybrid solar-plus-storage project in India, a significant milestone in the company’s clean energy expansion in the country. It also builds on ENGIE’s growing presence in India’s renewable sector, where the company has nearly 2 GW of renewable assets in operation and under construction. In November last year, ENGIE had also secured its first standalone battery storage project in India with a capacity of 280 MW / 560 MWh.
The newly awarded project is expected to play a key role in supporting India’s energy transition, particularly as the country scales up renewable capacity and works to improve grid stability. By combining large-scale solar generation with long-duration energy storage, the project aims to deliver clean, affordable and reliable power, helping address intermittency challenges associated with renewable energy.
Amit Jain, CEO and Country Manager of ENGIE India, and Managing Director for Renewables & Batteries India and South-East Asia, said the project reflects a strategic shift toward firm renewable power.
“This project marks a major first for us—our first hybrid Solar + Storage project in India. In an increasingly unpredictable global energy landscape, enabling firm, clean power is not just a technical breakthrough, it is a strategic imperative. By integrating long-duration storage with large-scale solar, we are supporting India’s ambition for 24/7 renewable power and stronger grid resilience,” he said.
According to ENGIE, the project will now move into the next phase, which includes detailed engineering, procurement and regulatory approvals, followed by construction. The company will work closely with technology providers, suppliers and government authorities to ensure timely and compliant execution.
The SECI award further strengthens ENGIE’s position as a long-term partner in India’s clean energy journey, aligned with national goals to build a resilient, low-carbon and secure power system. As India accelerates its renewable energy deployment, hybrid projects combining generation and storage are increasingly seen as critical to ensuring round-the-clock power supply and energy security.
ENGIE said it will continue to focus on technology-led solutions, disciplined execution and long-term partnerships with central and state utilities as it expands its renewable and energy storage portfolio in India.
