Tata Power Company Ltd, a prominent Indian power company, has signed a substantial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Rajasthan government, committing an investment of approximately Rs 1.2 lakh crore over the next decade.

• Solar Manufacturing Hub: A state-of-the-art solar module manufacturing facility with an investment of Rs 2,000 crore will be established in Jodhpur, boosting India's domestic manufacturing capabilities and reducing reliance on imports.
• Grid Modernization: The company will invest Rs 20,000 crore in upgrading the state's transmission and distribution infrastructure, reducing energy losses, and improving power quality.
• Nuclear Power Exploration: Tata Power will explore opportunities to develop nuclear power plants in Rajasthan, further diversifying the state's energy mix.

• Rooftop Solar Promotion: Tata Power will promote rooftop solar installations for 10 lakh households, aligning with the government's PM Surya Ghar Yojana.

This ambitious investment plan is expected to create over 28,000 direct jobs in Rajasthan, stimulate local economic growth and attract green investments to the state. By harnessing Rajasthan's abundant solar potential, Tata Power is not only contributing to the state's development but also playing a vital role in India's transition to a cleaner energy future. In addition, Tata Power has several notable projects in Rajasthan, including a 225 MW hybrid project in Noorsar for Tata Power Mumbai Distribution, a 1 GW solar EPC project in Bikaner for SJVN, a 300 MW solar project in Nokhra for NTPC, a 150 MW solar EPC project in Pokhran for MSEDCL and a 200 MW solar project in Bikaner for Tata Power Trading Company.
