Dholera Solar Park: 300 MW Now, 5 GW Target
The solar park is Dholera's second proven anchor after the fab. Here are the real numbers, clearly separating what is commissioned from what is a target.
The numbers that matter
The safest, official position: about 300 MW is commissioned and operational (Tata Power's 300 MW plant), 1,000 MW is sanctioned as Phase-I, and 5,000 MW (5 GW) is the ultimate target by around 2030. TARGET
The NICDC ledger and the CEA quarterly both confirm 300 of 1,000 MW commissioned, with 700 MW under development targeted March 2027 (developers include Tata Power, ReNew, SJVN, Vena, TEQ Green; agency GPCL). DURABLE Some 2026 reports claim over 1,200 MW commissioned, which is not reconciled against official data, so we publish about 300 MW.
Tata Power's plant
Tata Power commissioned a 300 MW solar plant at Dholera, reported using about 873,012 monocrystalline modules over 1,320 acres, which Tata Power calls India's largest single-axis solar tracker installation. DURABLE It is operational.
Who is building the rest
Phase-I (1,000 MW sanctioned) is coordinated by Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd (GPCL). Tata Power has commissioned 300 MW. The remaining 700 MW under development (targeted March 2027) is awarded to developers including Tata Power, ReNew, SJVN, Vena and TEQ Green. DURABLE Some awards have faced tariff and GERC delays.
The Dholera Ultra-Mega Solar Power Park Phase-I (1,000 MW sanctioned) is coordinated by Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd (GPCL), with the park approved around April 2018. DURABLE Tata Power operates the commissioned 300 MW, and further capacity is with multiple awarded developers.
Powering a green-grid city
Dholera is planned as a solar-powered green-grid city, anchored by the Dholera solar park (~300 MW operational, 1,000 MW sanctioned, 5 GW target). TARGET The state Data Centre Policy also carries a 51% green-power mandate for data centres. REPORTED The clean-energy positioning is real in intent; the full 5 GW is a target, not installed.
