Avaada Group, a leading diversified energy company, has marked a major achievement in its clean energy journey with the inauguration of its 280 MW solar power project in Surendranagar, Gujarat. The project was formally inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, reflecting the government’s strong commitment to accelerating India’s renewable energy transition and advancing the vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
The Surendranagar solar plant has been developed under the Gujarat State Solar Policy and covers an area of 1,170 acres across the villages of Tavi and Varsani in Surendranagar district. With an investment of ₹1,500 crore, the project is equipped with Avaada Electro’s ALMM-certified, Make in India TOPCon N-Type bifacial solar photovoltaic modules, which emphasize domestic manufacturing and advanced technology.
The electricity generated will be supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL), strengthening the state’s renewable energy mix and providing cleaner and more affordable power to local communities, particularly farmers. Reliable daytime electricity from this project is expected to improve irrigation facilities, reduce dependence on nighttime power supply affected by load shedding, and enhance operational efficiency.
Mr. Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, said in a statement, “At Avaada, our mission goes beyond generating energy—it is about contributing to India’s growth story and empowering communities. The inauguration of this project by the Hon’ble Prime Minister is a proud moment for us and reinforces our commitment to delivering clean, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions to every Indian.”
From an environmental perspective, the Surendranagar project is expected to offset approximately 595,857 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. It will also conserve about 112 lakh liters of water annually through the use of robotic module cleaning systems, which help minimize water use and reduce the project’s ecological footprint. The project also plays an important role in stabilizing the grid, reducing the state’s subsidy burden, and lowering reliance on conventional power sources during peak demand periods.
During the same event, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for Avaada’s 100 MW solar power project in Vadodara district. This project, spread over 350 acres, represents an investment of ₹400 crore and is being implemented by Avaada GJ Solar. Scheduled for commissioning by April 2026, the Vadodara plant is designed to reduce around 212,806 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually and conserve nearly 40 lakh liters of water every year. Like the Surendranagar project, it will also utilize advanced robotic module cleaning technology to promote sustainability.
In addition to its focus on renewable energy, Avaada has launched several community development initiatives as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts. These include free tuition classes for local students, the establishment of computer labs, cybersecurity awareness workshops, healthcare camps, and skill development programs aimed at empowering women in the region.
Avaada Group continues to strengthen its leadership in India’s clean energy transition through its integrated approach across the energy value chain. With a growing portfolio that includes renewable power generation, solar photovoltaic manufacturing, green hydrogen and its derivatives, green data centers, battery storage solutions, and pumped hydro projects, Avaada remains committed to building a sustainable and self-reliant energy ecosystem for India.
