Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited has secured three EPC contracts worth Rs 17.72 billion ($201.91 million) from India’s leading renewable energy developers for solar power installations in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The projects are expected to significantly contribute to India’s clean energy capacity addition and its 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030. Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited (SWREL), a prominent player in the global renewable energy sector, has recently secured three significant engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts totaling ₹17.72 billion (approximately $201.91 million) These projects, set to be executed in Gujarat.
Rajasthan, India, underscore SWREL’s expanding footprint in the country’s clean energy sector The awarded contracts encompass solar power installations with a cumulative capacity exceeding 1 gigawatt (GW). The projects are strategically located in Gujarat and Rajasthan, regions known for their vast expanses and high solar irradiance, making them ideal for large-scale solar power generation. The scope of work for these contracts includes comprehensive services such as design, engineering, supply, construction, and commissioning. Additionally, SWREL will provide operations and maintenance services post-commissioning, ensuring the long-term efficiency and sustainability of the installations.
Execution of the 245 MW Solar Project in Gujarat
In August 2025, SWREL emerged as the lowest bidder for a turnkey EPC package to develop a 245 MW (AC) grid-connected solar photovoltaic project in Gujarat. The tender for this project was launched by a reputed state-owned developer. This project marks a significant milestone in SWREL’s portfolio, reinforcing its capabilities in executing large-scale solar installations Further expanding its presence, SWREL secured an order worth ₹415 crore for a 300 MW AC / 420 MWp DC solar photovoltaic project in Rajasthan. This contract involves the balance of system (BoS) EPC package, including the construction of a 220/33 kV pooling substation The project was awarded by a leading.
Private independent power producer (IPP), marking SWREL’s first order from the private IPP sector in the current fiscal year. The total value of the contract is estimated at around ₹415 crore, inclusive of operations and maintenance services as well as applicable taxes (Solar) These projects align with India’s ambitious renewable energy targets, contributing significantly to the country’s clean energy capacity addition. India’s goal to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 is bolstered by such large-scale solar installations. By participating in these projects, SWREL is playing a pivotal role in advancing India’s clean energy initiatives and supporting its transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
Economic and Environmental Impacts
The execution of these projects is expected to have a positive impact on the local economies of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The construction and commissioning phases will create employment opportunities, stimulate local businesses, and contribute to the overall economic development of these regions. The long-term operations and maintenance activities will continue to generate employment and support local communities. Environmentally, the projects will contribute to reducing carbon emissions by generating clean, renewable energy, thereby supporting global efforts to combat climate change SWREL’s commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in its approach.
To these projects. The company adheres to stringent environmental and safety standards, ensuring that the installations are not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. By integrating sustainable practices into every phase of the project, SWREL is contributing to the broader goal (Solar) of environmental conservation The securing of these three EPC contracts worth ₹17.72 billion marks a significant milestone for Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited. The projects in Gujarat and Rajasthan will not only enhance India’s renewable energy capacity but also foster economic growth and environmental sustainability. As SWREL continues to expand its.
