Two contract awards point to accelerating solar activity in Rajasthan
Waaree Renewable Technologies has secured an EPC contract for a 450 MWp solar project in Rajasthan, as reported by ET EnergyWorld and pv magazine India on 28 October 2026. On the same date, Chemical Industry Digest reported that Vikram Solar has won a 289.87 MWp module supply order linked to a separate solar project in the same state. The two awards, reported independently on the same day, underline the sustained pace of solar procurement activity in Rajasthan.
No project value, client name, site location within Rajasthan, or completion timeline has been disclosed in available reporting for either contract. The details below reflect only what has been confirmed across published headlines.

Vikram Solar module order: what is known
Chemical Industry Digest reported on 28 October 2026 that Vikram Solar has bagged a module order of 289.87 MWp associated with a Rajasthan solar project. A separately published story on Projects India provides additional context: Vikram Solar wins 289.87 MWp module order from NLC India for Rajasthan solar project. No further breakdown of module specifications, delivery schedule, or contract value has been confirmed in the available headlines.
Rajasthan's solar pipeline in context
Projects India currently tracks 83 solar projects in Rajasthan, placing the state sixth by count among all states in its Solar Based Power project database, which spans 1,314 live projects across India. Maharashtra leads with 189 tracked projects, followed by Karnataka (188), Telangana (139), Andhra Pradesh (93) and Gujarat (86).
Rajasthan's position reflects its established role as a large-scale solar development corridor, and the two contract awards reported on 28 October 2026 are consistent with that profile. Projects India added 23 new solar projects to its national database in the 90 days preceding publication, indicating a steady rate of new activity entering the pipeline.
National pipeline: where projects stand by stage
Across all 1,314 solar projects tracked nationally, the stage breakdown highlights where near-term construction and procurement opportunities are concentrated:
- Under Approvals: 643 projects — the largest pool, representing potential future procurement once clearances are obtained
- Construction Started: 221 projects — active sites where equipment and services are being sourced now
- Planning: 194 projects — early-stage opportunities for suppliers to engage
- Completed: 129 projects
- Hold: 47 projects
- Early / Announced: 25 projects
With 221 projects in active construction and a further 643 moving through approvals, the forward pipeline for solar EPC firms, module makers, civil contractors and balance-of-plant suppliers remains substantial. Recent tracked projects illustrate the geographic spread: NTPC Limited has a project under construction in Bhanipura, Rajasthan; NTPC Renewable Energy Limited is active in Dhule, Maharashtra and Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh; and Adani Green Energy Limited has a construction-stage project at Khavda, Kutch in Gujarat.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The Waaree Renewable EPC award in Rajasthan signals an active procurement cycle for civil works, structural steel, inverters, cables, mounting systems and associated balance-of-plant items at the 450 MWp scale. EPC contractors of this size typically run competitive sub-contractor and vendor selection processes, making early engagement with the prime contractor relevant for tier-two suppliers.
The Vikram Solar module order of 289.87 MWp points to a parallel procurement track for the associated Rajasthan project, where civil and electrical contractors, logistics providers and O&M firms may find opportunities once the module supply chain is established.
More broadly, Rajasthan's 83 tracked projects — combined with the 643 projects nationally that remain under approvals — suggest that the order flow visible today is only a portion of what is likely to convert into active construction over the coming project cycles. Suppliers should monitor the Power Projects sector for further award announcements as approvals are resolved.
Projects India currently shows no open India tenders in the Power Projects sector, but the volume of projects in approvals stages indicates that tender activity is likely to follow as clearances are granted. The full tracked project list is available at projectsinindia.ai/projects.
