Lanco Solar, the fully owned subsidiary of Lanco Infratech completed Solar Photovoltaic Power plants aggregating to 56 MW in Gujarat. These include three plants of total 35 MW which are owned by Lanco Infratech itself and additional 21 MW developed as turnkey EPC projects for the following developers:
- GHI Energy : 10 MW
- Gujarat Power Corporation : 5 MW
- GSPC Pipavav Power Company: 5 MW

As per our estimation these power plants will generate around 90 Million Units (kWhs) of green electricity annually which will result into reduction of around 85757 tonnes of CO2 annually.
As stated by Mr. V. Saibaba (CEO Lanco Solar)
“We came to Gujarat in 2009 to explore the possibility of setting up our Solar business here. The visionary approach of the Hon`ble Chief Minister and the attitude of Government of Gujarat have been very positive for promotion of solar energy. Gujarat is at the forefront of solar development in the country today, with its excellent solar radiation, progressive solar policies and conducive business environment. We look forward to our continued growth here over our existing 56 MW, that we have built as a Developer & an EPC player in the last one and a half years in Gujarat”
We found that the said Gujarat Solar Park is Asia’s largest solar park and has been dedicated by Hon’ble Gujarat Chief Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi to the nation on April 19, 2012. The Park is the first of its kind in the world, being the largest, multi-developer, multi-facility park to encourage investment in the sector.
