ACME Solar brings 66.68 MW solar and 300 MWh storage online in Rajasthan
ACME Solar has commissioned 66.68 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity and 300 MWh of battery energy storage (BESS) in Rajasthan, according to reports from six outlets published on 16 September 2026. One outlet, Rediff MoneyWiz, rounded the solar figure to 67 MW; all others cited 66.68 MW. No project value was stated in the available headlines.
The commissioning adds to ACME Solar's existing portfolio of projects that Projects India tracks, which includes a previously recorded solar project at Jodhpur, Bhadla, Rajasthan, valued at Rs 2,000 crore, as well as units in Karnataka and Telangana.

ACME Solar's tracked project footprint
Projects India currently tracks five projects linked to ACME Solar across Rajasthan, Karnataka and Telangana. These include two units in Ballari, Karnataka, each valued at Rs 140 crore, a unit in Kolar, Karnataka, also at Rs 140 crore, a unit in Nalgonda, Telangana, for which no value has been recorded, and the Bhadla, Rajasthan project at Rs 2,000 crore. The newly commissioned Rajasthan facility reported on 16 September 2026 represents a separate development from the Bhadla entry already in the database.
Rajasthan's position in India's solar project pipeline
Rajasthan accounts for 81 of the 1,301 solar based power projects currently tracked by Projects India nationally. This places it sixth among states by project count, behind Karnataka and Maharashtra (186 each), Telangana (139), Andhra Pradesh (93) and Gujarat (83). Despite its strong solar resource, Rajasthan's share of tracked projects is proportionally smaller than its southern counterparts, suggesting scope for further additions to the pipeline.
Of the 1,301 tracked projects in the solar sub-sector nationally, 640 are under approvals, 215 are at construction started stage, 195 are at planning stage, 128 are completed, 46 are on hold, and 25 are at early or announced stage. The large concentration at the approvals stage indicates a substantial volume of projects that may move to procurement and construction activity in the near term.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The commissioning of a combined solar and BESS facility by ACME Solar in Rajasthan signals continued developer appetite for hybrid generation-and-storage configurations in the state. For equipment suppliers, civil contractors and electrical works firms, the broader national pipeline is the more immediate opportunity: with 640 solar projects under approvals and a further 195 at planning stage across India, a significant wave of procurement activity is plausible as projects advance.
Rajasthan, with 81 tracked projects, remains an active market, and developers with established operations in the state — such as ACME Solar, which already has a recorded Bhadla project — may bring further capacity to tender. Suppliers targeting this geography should also note that Karnataka and Maharashtra each host 186 tracked solar projects, making them the two largest state-level concentrations in the current pipeline. Projects India has added 16 new solar based power projects to its tracking database in the last 90 days, reflecting ongoing deal flow across the sector.
There are currently no open India tenders in the broader Power Projects sector recorded in the Projects India database at the time of publication. Suppliers and contractors are encouraged to monitor the live tenders page for updates as projects in the approvals and planning stages progress.
