Hartek Power has received an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for a 280 MW solar project, along with an 80 MW/320 MWh battery energy storage system, at Challakere in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka.

The total contract value is approximately ₹3.53 billion (~$39.2 million).

The scope of work includes the design, engineering, supply, erection, and commissioning of the project, along with one year of operations and maintenance.

At the Mercom India Renewables Summit 2025, Simarpreet Singh, CEO and Director at Hartek Group, highlighted the challenges faced by EPC players, including transmission infrastructure shortages and supply chain issues. He noted the lack of quality manufacturers in the HV and EHV segments.

In November last year, Hartek Group commissioned a 300 MW solar power project in Rajasthan.

In July 2025, Hartek Group secured a contract from the Power Grid Corporation of India to develop a 400 kV air-insulated substation. PGCIL has won this project from PFC Consulting. This substation is part of the transmission program to integrate renewable energy zones in Davanagere, Chitradurga, and Ballari districts of Karnataka.

In January 2025, Hartek Group’s commercial and industrial rooftop solar business won a solar EPC contract from Kandhari Beverages for an 8 MW rooftop solar installation project in Jammu and Kashmir. The project involved designing and procuring solar modules, inverters, and associated equipment, and testing and commissioning the system.

In 2024, it secured an order from SJVN Green Energy to develop, implement, and maintain a 75 MW grid-connected solar power project, along with a 132 kV substation in Jamui, Bihar. The comprehensive scope of work encompasses tasks such as land development, design, and engineering, as well as equipment procurement, testing at the manufacturer’s works, packing, forwarding, and transportation.

According to Mercom’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 2025 Report, Hartek Group emerged as one of the top utility-scale solar EPC service providers in 2024.
