The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has ruled on Petition No. 452/MP/2025 involving ACME Solar Holdings Limited, an Indian-based solar power developer, and its project subsidiary ACME Sikar Solar. The ACME had sought a 65‑day extension beyond 21 April 2025 to commission their 300 MW solar project at Nokhadhaya in Rajasthan. They said work was delayed by protests, slow safety approvals, and problems configuring protection relays, data links, and the SCADA control system needed to run the plant. According to the commission, the project has since achieved phased commercial operation between 11 May and 25 June 2025, bringing the full 300 MW online by 25 June. The commission has accepted the delay with higher daily compensation to CTUIL and ordered connectivity restoration without punitive action. The commission has restored the project’s General Network Access after ACME deposited compensation of INR 9.5 crore with Central Transmission Utility of India. The order has also instructed CTUIL to process ACME’s application to add 190 MW of solar and 250 MW of energy storage within the existing 300 MW connectivity.
