India-Nepal ventures into clean energy development
A joint venture of Bessco Power Pvt Ltd of Gurgaon and Delhi-headquartered Renergo Developers Pvt Ltd is to develop 1,000 MW of renewable energy projects over the next 18–24 months, focusing on expanding clean energy infrastructure across India and Nepal.
The newly announced partnership will primarily develop utility-scale solar projects, while also exploring opportunities in compressed biogas (CBG), green hydrogen, and green ammonia, aligning with the region’s rapidly growing clean energy ambitions.
Rajeev Chhikara, Founder and Chairman of Bessco Power, said, “The partnership marks a significant step in building scalable renewable infrastructure across South Asia. By combining strong development capabilities with strategic capital and execution platforms, this collaboration positions us to accelerate the deployment of large-scale renewable energy projects across India and Nepal.”
Nishant Goyal, Co-Founder of Renergo Developers, added that the collaboration will help unlock large-scale renewable opportunities in both markets.
“India and Nepal offer tremendous potential for renewable deployment, and this partnership enables us to combine our project development expertise with a strong strategic platform to deliver bankable projects at scale,” said Goyal.
Bharat Gulati, Managing Director of Bessco Power, highlighted the long-term vision behind the initiative.
“India and Nepal are entering a defining decade of clean energy growth. Through this partnership, our goal is to build a strong renewable energy platform that not only develops large-scale solar capacity but also supports the long-term energy transition of the region. With a target of 1,000 MW over the next 18–24 months, we see tremendous opportunity to contribute to sustainable economic growth while expanding into future-focused sectors like green hydrogen, CBG, and green ammonia,” elaborated Gulati.
The joint venture will focus on building a diversified clean energy portfolio across emerging technologies, according to Mayank Rohilla, Co-Founder of Renergo Developers.
“In addition to solar projects, we are actively exploring opportunities in green fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, and bioenergy, which will play a critical role in the future energy landscape,” Rohilla shared.
The companies expect to begin advancing the first set of projects under the partnership in the coming months, with multiple opportunities already under evaluation across India and Nepal. Fiinews.com
