Hindustan Power to invest Rs 620 cr in Assam; signs MoU with state Govt

New Delhi, Mar 3 (UNI) An independent power producer with a global portfolio of renewable and transitional electricity generation Hindustan Power on Monday said it has signed an MoU with the Government of Assam to invest Rs 620 crore in cutting-edge power and battery energy storage projects.
The MoU was signed at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit in Guwahati, reinforcing the company's commitment to accelerating sustainable energy solutions.
Aligned with Hindustan Power's ambitious vision of achieving a 5 GW energy portfolio over the next three years, this investment will drive the development of a 100 MW solar power plant alongside a state-of-the-art 100 MW battery energy storage system. The company will invest Rs 500 crore for the solar plant and Rs 120 crore for the battery storage facility, marking a transformative step in Assam’s renewable energy journey.
To be developed in collaboration with the Assam government, these projects will not only enhance the state’s energy infrastructure but also generate employment of more than 5,000 man days, fostering economic growth and employment opportunities.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power, said, “We are proud that Hindustan Power was the first company to develop a large solar power plant in Assam in the year 2016, and the company remains committed to drive the state’s journey of growth in the new era of renewable energy. Assam’s dynamic landscape presents incredible opportunities, and we are excited to deepen our commitment to the state, harnessing its vast potential and contributing to its ambitious renewable energy goals.
I extend my congratulations to our Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma Ji, whose visionary leadership has propelled Assam toward remarkable progress, making the state a thriving destination for investment and growth.”

With a strong presence in both domestic and international markets, the company has successfully executed projects across India, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. By blending innovation with sustainability, it remains at the forefront of the global energy transition, reinforcing its status as a key player in the renewable energy sector, the company said in a statement.
