Vikran Engineering, Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy, Bondada Engineering, and Kintech Synergy have recently won major solar project contracts from NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) in Uttar Pradesh, totaling 1.4 GW of grid-connected solar power capacity. These projects include balance of system (BoS) work at two sites in Chitrakoot and two in Lalitpur, following a tender issued in December 2024.
Vikran Engineering secured the Chitrakoot‑1 project for 400 MW, valued at around ₹4.59 billion, while Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy will execute the Chitrakoot‑2 project, also 400 MW. Bondada Engineering won the Lalitpur‑1 package for 300 MW with a contract worth ₹3.91 billion, and Kintech Synergy will handle the 300 MW Lalitpur‑2 project.
Under these contracts, the companies are responsible for designing, engineering, manufacturing, installing, testing, and commissioning the solar photovoltaic systems. NTPC REL will supply the solar modules, and the contractors must complete all installation and commissioning work. The projects also include vegetation clearing, topographical and soil surveys, foundation construction, and erecting fixed-tilt mounting structures with specific electrical ratios. Additionally, the contractors are required to ensure adequate power and water supplies for construction activities.
These projects are part of the Lalitpur and Chitrakoot Solar Parks, developed by TUSCO, aimed at strengthening solar energy capacity in the region and supporting India’s growing renewable energy infrastructure. The new contracts reflect the increasing role of domestic and international engineering firms in constructing large-scale solar projects, highlighting both technological capability and contribution to India’s clean energy goals.
These contracts are expected to accelerate renewable energy deployment in Uttar Pradesh while reinforcing India’s commitment to expanding its utility-scale solar power network.
