Mumbai: Maharashtra is set to take a major step towards achieving India’s green energy ambitions with the launch of its first renewable solar park, the “Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Saur Urja Park” (CSMSUP), in Solapur. Spearheaded by Hazoor Multi Projects Ltd (HMPL) in partnership with a leading UK-based multinational firm, the solar park will have a capacity of 1.2 GW and span 4,200 acres.

The park will incorporate cutting-edge solar technology, featuring panels with a capacity of 750 watts each. Both fixed and tracking solar panels will be used, with the tracking systems enhancing efficiency by following the sun's movement throughout the day. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce India’s carbon footprint while creating economic opportunities in the Solapur region.

Robert Moses, Director of HMPL, emphasized the project’s importance, stating, “The development of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Saur Urja Park at Solapur marks a significant milestone in HMPL’s journey in India. It reaffirms our commitment to positioning India as a global leader in renewable energy. We are also planning to expand our renewable power generation capacities by establishing new facilities in other states soon.”

The solar park is a cornerstone of India’s efforts to meet its renewable energy goals, serving as a model for sustainable development and economic growth. It highlights the country’s leadership in combating climate change and invites global investors and businesses to collaborate on low-carbon initiatives.

In addition to CSMSUP, HMPL is planning two solar hybrid projects: a 1,200 MW facility in Maharashtra and a 500 MW project in Andhra Pradesh, further cementing its role in shaping the future of renewable energy in India.

This ambitious venture underscores how renewable energy investments can drive both environmental sustainability and economic progress, setting an example for developing nations worldwide.
