Tata Power Renewable Energy Starts 198 MW Wind Power Project in Tamil Nadu

February 3, 2026

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a unit of Tata Power, has started operations of a 198 MW group captive wind power plant for Tata Steel in Karur, Tamil Nadu, marking one of the largest wind installations of its kind in the state and strengthening both companies’ clean energy efforts.

The Karur project includes 55 wind turbine generators each with 3.6 MW capacity and is expected to produce about 31 million units of clean electricity annually, helping Tata Steel reduce roughly 26,350 tones of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Implemented under a group captive model, the plant was executed using a self-EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) approach, where TPREL carried out most of the work in-house, including civil works, grid connections and transmission systems — a strategy that helped complete foundational work in 126 days and turbine installation in 167 days, reflecting efficient project delivery.

This wind farm adds to TPREL’s growing renewable portfolio and raises its total utility capacity to about 11.6 GW, with around 6.2 GW already operational across solar and wind projects and the remainder under construction in states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The new facility also supports India’s broader renewable goals, including the national target of 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030 and Tata Power’s own plan to achieve 100 % clean energy by 2045.
