ACME Solar's Project Portfolio in India
Projects India tracks five projects for ACME Solar across Karnataka, Telangana and Rajasthan. These include three solar power unit projects in Ballari and Kolar districts of Karnataka, each valued at Rs 140 crore, an additional project in Kudligi, Karnataka, also at Rs 140 crore, and the Rs 2,000 crore project at Bhadla, Rajasthan. The Rajasthan commissioning reported on 6 October 2026 underlines the promoter's continued activity in the state, which already hosts a substantial share of its tracked project activity.
Rajasthan's Position in India's Solar Project Pipeline
Rajasthan accounts for 82 of the 1,308 solar power projects that Projects India tracks in the Solar Based Power sub-sector. Karnataka and Maharashtra each lead with 187 projects, followed by Telangana at 139, Andhra Pradesh at 93 and Gujarat at 85. Rajasthan's count, while lower than these frontrunners, reflects a concentrated base of large-scale utility projects in districts such as Bikaner and Jodhpur, where land availability and irradiation levels attract major developers.
The state's solar activity sits within a national pipeline where construction is already under way on 218 tracked solar projects — the most active delivery stage after the 642 projects currently under approvals. A further 195 projects are in planning, indicating a sustained supply of future work entering the market.
National Solar Project Stage Breakdown
Of the 1,308 solar power projects tracked by Projects India, the stage distribution is as follows:
- Under Approvals: 642 projects
- Construction Started: 218 projects
- Planning: 195 projects
- Completed: 128 projects
- Hold: 46 projects
- Early / Announced: 25 projects
Twenty-one projects were added to the tracked pipeline in the last 90 days, signalling continued flow of new opportunities into the sector. Recent additions include projects in Gujarat, Odisha, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Rajasthan, spanning promoters from GAIL (India) Limited to KPI Green Energy. Comparable commissioning activity can be seen in other parts of India, such as NTPC Green Energy's 68.22 MW commissioning in Gujarat, underscoring the pace at which utility-scale solar capacity is being brought online nationally.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The phased commissioning approach at ACME Solar's 300 MW Rajasthan project — with 66.68 MW of solar and 107.36 MW of battery storage reported commissioned in a single announcement — points to ongoing procurement and installation activity at the site. Suppliers of solar modules, mounting structures, inverters, battery energy storage systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment should note that further phases of the 300 MW project may remain to be completed, representing potential continued demand.
More broadly, Rajasthan's 82 tracked solar projects, combined with the national pipeline of 218 projects already in construction and 642 under approvals, indicates substantial near-term opportunity for civil contractors, electrical contractors, cable and conductor manufacturers, and operations and maintenance service providers. The battery storage component reported at the Bikaner site also highlights growing demand for energy storage integration expertise across utility-scale solar schemes in India.
Suppliers and contractors active in the Power Projects sector can monitor the full pipeline of solar and storage projects across India through Projects India's tracked projects database, which currently covers 1,308 active solar power projects nationwide.
