Ampin Energy Transition, one of India’s leading renewable energy companies, has successfully commissioned a 50 MWp solar power plant in Chhattisgarh, marking a major milestone in the state’s clean energy journey and reinforcing Ampin’s commitment to sustainable development across eastern India.
This newly operational solar facility is part of Ampin’s broader ₹3,100 crore investment plan aimed at transforming the renewable energy landscape in the eastern region, including states like Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, and the Northeastern territories. The Chhattisgarh plant is expected to generate approximately 85 million units of clean electricity annually, enough to power over 30,000 households while offsetting nearly 70,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
A Strategic Push Toward Decentralized Solar Power
The 50 MWp solar plant is designed to operate under open access and utility-scale models, enabling both commercial and industrial (C&I) customers as well as grid-connected consumers to benefit from clean, affordable energy. Ampin’s deployment strategy focuses on cluster-based development, allowing for efficient land use, streamlined operations, and scalable expansion.
Pinaki Bhattacharyya, Managing Director and CEO of Ampin Energy Transition, stated: "This commissioning is a testament to our vision of making renewable energy accessible and impactful. Chhattisgarh has immense solar potential, and we’re proud to contribute to its energy transition while supporting India’s climate goals."
The plant features high-efficiency bifacial solar modules and smart inverters, optimized for peak performance even under low-light conditions. It is also equipped with advanced monitoring systems that allow real-time performance tracking and predictive maintenance.
Local Impact and Economic Upliftment
Beyond its environmental benefits, the solar plant is expected to generate significant socio-economic impact in the region. During its construction phase, the project created over 300 direct and indirect jobs, with a focus on local hiring and skill development. Ampin has also partnered with local institutions to provide training in solar installation and maintenance, fostering long-term employment opportunities.
The plant’s commissioning aligns with Chhattisgarh’s renewable energy policy, which aims to achieve 5 GW of solar capacity by 2030. With abundant land and high solar irradiance, the state is emerging as a key player in India’s clean energy expansion.
Ampin’s Expanding Footprint in Eastern India
Ampin Energy Transition has been aggressively expanding its presence in eastern India, where energy demand is rising and grid infrastructure is evolving. The company boasts the largest solar open access portfolio in the region, exceeding 200 MWp, and holds a 250 MWp wind-solar hybrid PPA with CESC, one of the largest utility agreements in the area.
In addition to the Chhattisgarh plant, Ampin is developing a state-of-the-art 1.3 GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Odisha. This integrated manufacturing hub will not only support Ampin’s own projects but also supply modules to other developers, reducing India’s reliance on imported solar components.
Ampin’s balanced portfolio of over 5 GWp across 23 states includes utility-scale solar, wind, hybrid, and battery energy storage projects. The company aims to reach 25 GW of installed capacity by 20303.
A Model for Sustainable Development
The Chhattisgarh solar plant exemplifies Ampin’s holistic approach to energy transition—combining environmental stewardship, economic development, and technological innovation. It also reflects India’s broader push toward achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, as outlined in its National Electricity Plan.
With this commissioning, Ampin continues to position itself as a trusted partner for C&I customers, utilities, and government bodies seeking reliable, scalable, and sustainable energy solutions.
