Hartek Power, one of India’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies, has secured a major renewable energy contract in Karnataka. The company has been awarded the EPC scope for a 280 MW AC (410 MWp DC) solar photovoltaic (PV) project, along with an 80 MW and 320 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Challakere.
The scope of work includes design, engineering, supply, erection, and commissioning of the solar and storage assets, in addition to one year of operations and maintenance. The total purchase price for the project is approximately INR 353 crore.
The project comes at a time when India is intensifying efforts to integrate large-scale renewable energy generation with storage solutions, ensuring grid stability and uninterrupted power supply. Battery energy storage systems are increasingly recognized as key enablers for managing solar intermittency and providing round-the-clock energy availability.
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 being delivered as an integrated solution. We are pleased to work on this large-scale solar and battery storage project at Challakere. This win strengthens our position in the utility-scale solar segment and demonstrates our capability to deliver technically complex projects.”
Located in Challakere, a rapidly emerging renewable energy hub, the project will contribute significantly to Karnataka’s expanding clean energy footprint. Industry experts note that hybrid projects combining solar and storage are expected to become increasingly common as India accelerates its renewable capacity additions.
With this latest contract, Hartek Power reinforces its expertise in executing large-scale and technically advanced renewable infrastructure, supporting India’s broader energy transition goals.
