This New Green Power Deal Could Transform Maharashtra into India’s Next Renewable Energy Giant—Here’s What It Means for 2025
NLC India Renewables and MAHAPREIT are launching a massive joint venture to deploy 5000 MW of renewable energy across Maharashtra.
- Target Capacity: Up to 5000 MW of clean energy projects in Maharashtra
- Initial Phase: 500 MW rollout focused on solar, wind, and storage tech
- Equity Split: NIRL 74%, MAHAPREIT 26%
- Project Types: Solar, Wind, Hybrid, Floating Solar, BESS, Pumped Storage, and Solar Parks
Big changes are coming to Maharashtra’s energy landscape. In a deal set to redefine the future of sustainable power, NLC India Renewables Limited (NIRL) and Mahatma Phule Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Technology Limited (MAHAPREIT) have inked a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) that promises to unleash a surge of green energy innovation in 2025 and beyond.
This partnership isn’t just signing papers—it’s setting gears into motion. The upcoming Joint Venture Company (JVC) will roll out an ambitious plan: an initial deployment of 500 MW, scaling up to 2000 MW and ultimately targeting a staggering 5000 MW. Expect everything from cutting-edge solar arrays to sprawling wind farms, advanced battery storage (BESS), and even floating solar installations across Maharashtra.
As India races to meet its ambitious climate goals, this collaboration draws on the national experience of NLC India Limited and MAHAPREIT’s deep local connections. The project’s focus: clean energy, economic growth, and creating a template for rapid renewable adoption nationwide.
What Makes This Joint Venture a Game-Changer in 2025?
The joint venture brings together NIRL’s financial muscle and project execution skills with MAHAPREIT’s expertise in land identification and infrastructure development. Together, they plan to create a seamless system for clean energy generation and distribution, including:
- Quick land acquisition and allocation for new projects
- Efficient construction of grid links and power evacuation systems
- Diverse project types including pumped storage and hybrid solar-wind solutions
The new JVC’s power sales strategy targets distribution companies, government offices, and major commercial and industrial clients, ensuring wide market reach and reliable energy delivery.
