Gentari, a clean energy solutions provider, has successfully commissioned a 150 MWp open-access solar power plant in Dahegaon village, located in the Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. Connected to the state transmission utility (STU), this project is one of the largest solar installations in the state aimed at serving commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers under Maharashtra’s green open access policy.
The new plant is expected to generate around 248 million units (kWh) of renewable electricity annually. This output will help industries across Maharashtra transition to cleaner energy sources, with the potential to avoid over 238,576 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. With the commissioning of this project, Gentari’s total C&I solar capacity in the state has now surpassed 225 MWp, further strengthening its role as a key provider of dependable and large-scale green energy solutions for industrial users in Maharashtra—one of India’s most energy-intensive states.
Sharad Pungalia, Country Head, India, Gentari, stated, “Maharashtra’s commercial and industrial consumers have been showing strong momentum in the shift to clean energy. This project supports that transition by providing reliable solar power at scale, unlocking both environmental and operational value.”
In addition to environmental benefits, the project delivered social and economic value during its construction phase. Over 300 local workers were engaged, regional resources were used, and outreach efforts were carried out in nearby villages to support community involvement. This project is part of Gentari’s growing clean energy portfolio across India and the Asia Pacific region. The company is advancing integrated solutions across solar power, green hydrogen, and sustainable mobility as part of its wider mission to drive the global shift toward low-carbon energy systems.
