SECI, NDMC Sign MoU to Solarise 244 Municipal Buildings Across Delhi

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to undertake the solarisation of approximately 244 NDMC buildings across the national capital, marking a significant step towards clean and sustainable energy adoption in public infrastructure.

The MoU was signed by Manas Ranjan Mishra, Deputy General Manager and Head of Department (Solar), on behalf of SECI, and Deepak Sachdeva, Chief Engineer (Electrical), representing NDMC. The agreement was exchanged in the presence of Keshav Chandra, Chairman, NDMC.

Under the agreement, rooftop solar systems will be deployed across NDMC-owned buildings, supporting the increased use of renewable energy within Delhi’s civic infrastructure. The initiative is expected to enhance energy self-reliance, lower carbon emissions in the capital, and reduce dependence on conventional power sources.

Officials said the project aligns with India’s broader clean energy and climate goals, while also demonstrating leadership in sustainable urban governance. By accelerating the adoption of solar power in municipal facilities, the SECI–NDMC collaboration is expected to serve as a model for other urban local bodies across the country.
