ACME Solar Clarifies 300 MW Rajasthan Project Fully Operational Amid Transmission Constraint Reports

ACME Solar Holdings Limited issued a clarification on December 15, 2025, regarding reports that nearly 4,300 MW of solar projects in Rajasthan were facing curtailment due to transmission constraints. Media reports, published by several news outlets and sourced from Press Trust of India, suggested that a large number of solar projects, including one developed by ACME, were unable to supply power during daytime hours because the available transmission margins had been exhausted.

In its clarification, ACME stated that its 300 MW solar project, developed by ACME Sikar Solar Pvt Ltd and connected at the Bikaner-II substation, is currently evacuating its full capacity of 300 MW without any restrictions. The company confirmed that the project has received Long Term General Network Access (GNA) effectiveness approval, which ensures dedicated transmission capacity for the project. This means that the ACME project is not affected by the curtailment issues mentioned in the media coverage.

ACME also highlighted that transmission constraints in Rajasthan have significantly eased following the commissioning of the Narela-Khetri transmission line. This development has made the Long Term GNA effective for about 4,300 MW of solar projects across various developers in the region, allowing these projects to operate more smoothly and reducing concerns about daytime power evacuation.

ACME Solar Holdings Limited operates as an integrated renewable energy company with a diversified portfolio that includes solar, wind, storage, FDRE, and hybrid solutions. The company currently has an operational capacity of 2,934 MW and an additional 4,586 MW under construction. Its ongoing projects also include approximately 15 GWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installations, reflecting the company’s focus on combining renewable energy with storage solutions.

The company uses an in-house Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) division, which allows it to deliver projects efficiently in terms of cost and time. This approach also helps maintain high operating performance, demonstrated by ACME’s industry-leading Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) and operating margins. By clarifying the situation, ACME reassured stakeholders that its project is fully operational and that the broader transmission issues in Rajasthan are improving.

This development provides confidence to investors, policymakers, and other developers that solar power in the region can continue to expand with reduced risk of curtailment, especially as transmission infrastructure upgrades progress.
