Coal India Limited will commence commercial operation of 200 MW solar power capacity at its Khavda project in Gujarat with effect from August 8, 2026, at 00:00 hours, the company said in a BSE filing dated August 7. The capacity forms part of Coal India’s 300 MW solar power project at Khavda.

The Coal India solar project disclosure gives investors a clear timeline for the scheduled commercial operation of two-thirds of the project’s stated capacity. The filing, submitted under BSE scrip code 533278, was also addressed to the National Stock Exchange of India.

Khavda solar capacity details

  • Total solar project capacity: 300 MW
  • Capacity scheduled for commercial operation: 200 MW
  • Project location: Khavda, Gujarat
  • Effective time: August 8, 2026, at 00:00 hours

Coal India informed the exchanges that the scheduled commencement relates specifically to 200 MW of the wider 300 MW solar power project. The filing did not provide a commercial-operation timeline for the remaining 100 MW capacity.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Coal India also cited the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, in its communication to the stock exchanges.

Exchange disclosure and compliance

The filing was signed by B. P. Dubey, Executive Director (Company Secretary) and Compliance Officer of Coal India Limited. It carried the company’s ISIN, INE522F01014, alongside the BSE scrip code.

For market participants tracking Coal India’s power-sector activities, the announcement establishes the effective date and capacity covered by the commercial-operation milestone, while limiting the update to the information formally disclosed to the exchanges.

The announcement concerns the start of commercial operation and does not specify project cost, expected generation, tariff arrangements, revenue estimates or financial impact. Investors will therefore need to assess the update strictly on the disclosed operational capacity and effective date.

Coal India, identified in the filing as a Maharatna company, submitted the communication to the listing departments of both BSE and NSE. The company’s registered office is in Newtown, Rajarhat, Kolkata.

The exchange filing places the 200 MW capacity into commercial operation as scheduled from the beginning of August 8, representing part of the stated 300 MW Khavda solar project in Gujarat.
