Hartek Power, a leading Indian Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) company, has won a major renewable energy contract in Karnataka, securing the EPC scope for a 280 MW AC / 410 MWp DC solar PV project integrated with an 80 MW / 320 MWh battery energy storage system at Challakere. The total purchase price for the agreed scope is approximately INR 353.77 crore.
Under the contract, Hartek Power will handle design, engineering, supply, erection, commissioning, and one year of operations and maintenance for the project. The installation of the battery energy storage system alongside the solar PV plant aims to enhance grid stability, manage intermittency, and ensure reliable, round-the-clock power supply.
Commenting on the project, Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director and CEO of Hartek Group, said, “This project reflects the growing maturity of India’s renewable energy market, where solar generation and storage are coming together as an integrated solution. This win strengthens our position in the utility-scale solar segment and marks an important step forward in our journey into battery energy storage.”
Located in Challakere, a region rapidly emerging as a renewable energy hub, the project further contributes to Karnataka’s expanding clean energy footprint and aligns with India’s broader energy transition objectives.
Industry analysts note that hybrid projects combining solar and storage are expected to become increasingly common as renewable capacity additions accelerate nationwide. With this latest contract, Hartek Power reinforces its capability to deliver large-scale, technically advanced renewable infrastructure, positioning the company among India’s leading solar EPC providers.
