Having bagged 49MW of projects across different states and under different models of financing, ReNew Power is the biggest winner among the hundreds of solar developers who have been allotted parts of the Solar Corporation of India's (SECI) mega tender of 500 MW of solar rooftop projects. Other major winners are Jakson Engineers with 16 MW, Hero Solar Energy with 13.2 MW, Puroshottam Profiles with 12.5 MW and Bosch Ltd with 10.4 MW. SECI floated the tender in late-April this year to give a fillip to rooftop solar projects in the country, whose development has been relatively slow so far. Of the 8727.62 MW of grid connected installed solar capacity in the country, rooftop solar is barely around 500 MW. SECI's April tender of 500 MW, whose winners were announced earlier this month, dwarfed all its previous rooftop solar tenders, seven of which were issued since 2012 for a total of about 200 MW.
