The first shipments are set to arrive during the first quarter of 2023 with the project expected to be operational by October 2023.

Nextracker has more than 1GW of solar tracker systems in operation across 24 solar PV projects in India, according to Nextracker’s founder and CEO, Dan Shugar.

Dwarakanadha Reddy, business head projects division at Amara Raja Power Systems, said: “We are proud to offer this advanced technology to NTPC, and Nextracker is the right local partner to help us achieve lower levelised cost of energy (LCOE) over the lifetime of the plant due to its bifacial optimised design.”

NTPC has increased its renewable energy investments with a target to reach 60GW of renewables capacity by 2032.

This year Nextracker has been active in increasing its manufacturing capacity in the US as it opened three factories in Pittsburgh, Texas and Arizona, announced in June, April and May, respectively.

The company aims to establish 10GW of annual solar tracker capacity in the US, meanwhile outside the country it has opened a new research and development facility in Brazil.
