The company in the Invest Rajasthan Summit 2022 explained future installations.

The state of Rajasthan has high temperatures during the day, making the internal temperature of sites fall by 4 to 5 degrees. Utilising this, Tata Power already has nearly 21,600 solar pumps in Jaipur, Hanumangarh, Ganganagar, Jalore and Bikaner.  

The company announced at the Invest Rajasthan summit, being held at Jaipur, that it plans to develop up to 8000 MW of utility-scale projects, 1000 MW of solar rooftop and 1, 50,000 solar pumps in next five years in the State. This could generate employment for more than 6000-8000 people, (apart from the current 4500 in the state) in the next five years.

So far, Tata Power has commissioned 2,066 MW in Rajasthan and around 2,873 MW capacity of solar projects are under construction in one of the important states for its business, Rajasthan. It aims to complete the construction in the next 12-24 months. 

TP Ajmer Distribution Ltd, a unit of Tata Power, has completed 5 years of operations and has enhanced the consumer experience in Ajmer. Tata Power has ensured safe and reliable supply in Ajmer and also achieved AT&C loss reduction from 22% to 9%.

Dr Praveer Sinha, CEO&MD, of Tata Power, said, “Both in terms of potential and what has been done so far, Rajasthan has today emerged as a role model to produce green energy through solar power. I am happy to be here at Invest Rajasthan summit. With its already strong footprint in the State. Tata Power is fully poised to make Rajasthan’s future-ready and realise its full potential and emerge as a Green Power House of the country. We will continue to build on all three businesses – EPC, Solar Pump and Solar Rooftop- to benefit farmers, industries and common citizens of this frontier state.”

With respect to solar pumps, Tata Power plans to set up around 1, 50,000 pumps in next five years in the State and for rooftop services; it has a cumulative installed capacity of 65 MW in Rajasthan. Tata Power has been doing extensive work for industrial belts like marble, granite and stone crushing etc in Rajasthan located in regions like Ajmer, Sirohi, Rajsamand, Jalore and Makrana. In the next few years, the company plans to also install 10,000 public EV charging points in the State.
