SECI participated in the 6th India Energy Summit & Expo 2026 held in Hyderabad.

During the event, Shri Sivakumar V Vepakomma, Director (PS), spoke at the panel discussion on “Powering Rural India: Renewable Energy, Reliable Electricity & Inclusive Growth.”

Speaking on renewable energy for the agriculture and rural sectors, he highlighted the suitability of solar power for agricultural demand, particularly as daytime agricultural load coincides with solar generation hours. He also spoke about the role of decentralised solar plants and solar pumps in providing economical and reliable power to farmers and reducing dependence on conventional sources.

He further spoke about integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems with decentralised solar systems to improve reliability and make power available beyond solar generation hours.

Shri Vepakomma also referred to the importance of skilling in rural areas to support the adoption, operation and maintenance of renewable energy systems. He noted that greater use of economical renewable power for agricultural supply can help reduce the subsidy burden over time, allowing resources to be used more effectively for strengthening and modernising the distribution network.

He also highlighted the role of Gram Panchayats and local bodies in supporting rural renewable energy programmes, including feeder solarisation and decentralised solar pumping, through closer coordination with State DISCOMs.

Another milestone for India’s renewable energy journey!

Close on the heels of SECI’s landmark discovery of RE-RTC power at ₹5.25/kWh, we have achieved another significant breakthrough, 4-hour peak renewable power at ₹5.99/kWh.

The message is increasingly clear: renewable energy can be green, firm, reliable and affordable, even during peak demand hours.

These price discoveries demonstrate how rapidly the economics of renewable energy and storage are evolving and open up exciting possibilities for meeting India’s growing electricity demand with clean and dependable power at competitive tariffs.

At SECI, we remain committed to innovation in power products and procurement models that translate India’s ambitious energy transition into affordable power for DISCOMs and consumers.

From RE-RTC at ₹5.25/kWh to peak power at ₹5.99/kWh, the economics of firm green power is scaling new milestones.

SECI Participates in ICRA Infrastructure & Corporate Conclave 2026

Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) participated in the ICRA Infrastructure & Corporate Conclave 2026, held on 20 August 2026 at The Grand, New Delhi.

During the panel discussion on Renewables at Scale: Grid Resilience, Storage & Investment Outlook, Shri Josh*t Ranjan Sikidar, Director (Finance), SECI, shared insights on the recent progress in signing Power Sale Agreements (PSAs) with DISCOMs, the payment security mechanism available in the renewable energy ecosystem and the evolving investment outlook for renewable energy.

He highlighted that SECI has signed around 5 GW of PSAs during the current financial year, reflecting continued progress in facilitating the offtake of renewable power by State Distribution Utilities.

Speaking on the competitiveness of renewable energy, Shri Sikidar stated that in the recent Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) bid, SECI discovered a tariff of ₹5.25 per unit, which is significantly competitive compared with the tariff of new thermal power plants. He further highlighted that the FDRE tariff would remain fixed for 25 years, whereas the variable component of thermal power tariffs is expected to increase over time.

He also emphasised SECI’s strong payment track record, stating that SECI has been making timely payments to its renewable energy developers. This consistent payment discipline has contributed significantly to the high bankability and strong market confidence in SECI’s PPAs.

The panel discussion highlighted the growing role of renewable energy, storage and innovative procurement mechanisms in strengthening grid resilience and supporting India’s transition towards a reliable, competitive and sustainable energy system.
