Tata Power has approached the West Bengal government requesting land to develop solar power projects, with a potential investment of about ₹2,500 crore.
Tata Power has formally approached the West Bengal state administration seeking allocation of land for the establishment of solar power installations. The utility is evaluating a capital outlay of roughly ₹2,500 crore to fund the projects, which would add significant renewable capacity to the region.
The request comes as part of Tata Power's broader strategy to expand its clean‑energy portfolio across India. By securing suitable sites in West Bengal, the company aims to harness the state's solar potential and contribute to national targets for renewable generation.
If the land is approved, the proposed solar farms could create construction and operational jobs, while supplying clean electricity to the grid. The investment also aligns with the state government's emphasis on sustainable development and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
