ENGIE today announced the successful financial closure of its 250 MW Khaba Solar Project in Barmer, Rajasthan. The project is being developed through Khaba Renewable Energy Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ENGIE.
Once commissioned, the project is expected to generate around 650 GWh of clean electricity annually and help avoid nearly 180 kilo tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year.
“Beyond clean energy generation, the project is expected to create local employment opportunities during construction while contributing to regional economic development in Rajasthan. In line with ENGIE’s approach across its sites, a substantial share of these opportunities, around 80%—is expected to benefit people from local communities,” stated the company.
The financial closure supports the project’s next phase of development, with construction expected to be completed by Q3 2026.
“The next phase of India’s energy transition will be defined by the ability to translate ambitious targets into high quality infrastructure at scale,” saidAmit Jain, CEO & country manager India, Managing Director Renewables & Batteries SEA, ENGIE. “The financial closure of the Khaba Solar Project marks another important step in that journey and reflects ENGIE’s confidence in India’s long term renewable energy growth story.”
