DCM Shriram's Broader Capital Activity
DCM Shriram is an established diversified industrial group. Beyond this hybrid plant, Projects India tracks several other capital investments associated with the promoter, including a Rs 1,000 crore Liquid Epoxy Resins project at Jhagadia GIDC Industrial Estate in Bharuch, Gujarat; a Rs 310 crore Aluminium Chloride and Calcium Chloride manufacturing project also at Jhagadia, Bharuch; a Rs 350 crore Sugar Plant expansion at Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh; a Rs 163 crore Sugar Plant at Loni, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh; and a Rs 18 crore Compressed Bio Gas unit at Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh. The commissioning of the 68 MW hybrid plant extends the group's footprint into operational renewable generation.
Wind-Solar Hybrid Activity Across India
The DCM Shriram commissioning sits within a broader market context. Projects India tracks 340 wind-based power projects across India, of which 84 are recorded as completed and 55 are currently under construction. A further 122 are at the approvals stage, indicating a substantial forward pipeline of activity for equipment suppliers and civil contractors.
Among recently tracked wind-solar hybrid projects in the pipeline, Projects India records a Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Unit project by Aditya Birla Renewables Limited at Fulsar, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, currently under approvals, and a Rs 944 crore Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Unit project by AMPIN Energy Utility Private Limited in Rajasthan, where construction has started. These illustrate continued developer appetite for hybrid configurations across multiple states.
Where Wind-Based Power Projects Are Concentrated
Gujarat leads all states in the Projects India wind-based power tracking universe with 124 projects, followed by Maharashtra with 58, Andhra Pradesh with 42, Karnataka with 36, Tamil Nadu with 26 and Madhya Pradesh with 22. This geographic spread reflects both established wind corridors and newer hybrid-friendly zones where state policy and grid connectivity support investment.
Of the 340 tracked projects, the stage breakdown illustrates where market activity is densest: 122 projects are under approvals, 55 are in construction, 55 are in planning, and 84 have reached completion. Only 5 are at an early or announced stage, suggesting that most visible pipeline activity is already in structured development phases. For suppliers, the 55 projects currently under construction represent the most immediate procurement opportunities, while the 122 under approvals signal the next wave of tendering.

What this means for suppliers and contractors
The commissioning of DCM Shriram's 68 MW wind-solar hybrid plant confirms that hybrid configurations — combining wind and solar generation on a shared site — are now reaching operational status at meaningful scale in India, alongside the large pipeline still in development.
For wind turbine suppliers, balance-of-plant contractors, electrical and substation specialists, and operations and maintenance providers, the concentration of 55 projects currently under construction nationally — led by Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh — defines the near-term opportunity set. The 122 projects under approvals across the same states represent the procurement cycle that will open over the coming 12 to 24 months.
Hybrid project developers are actively progressing assets in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu simultaneously, meaning suppliers with cross-state capacity will be better placed to serve multiple awards. The full list of tracked wind-based power projects is available on Projects India, and live tenders in the Power Projects sector can be monitored for new procurement notices as approvals convert to construction awards.
