Andhra Pradesh Cabinet Approves 250 MW Mylavaram Solar Power Project

The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, headed by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, has approved a proposal to establish a 250 MW solar power project in Mylavaram, Kadapa district. 

The project will utilise 1,200 acres of government land in Vaddirala and Dhodium villages, leased for 33 years to Andhra Pradesh Solar Power Corporation Private Limited through Adani Solar Energy AP Eight Pvt Ltd. 

₹904 Crore Infrastructure Boost for Amaravati Villages

At the same event, the Cabinet also approved INR 904 crore Development Infrastructure Facilities Programme across 29 villages in Amaravati. The programme will be executed under the state’s Critical Infrastructure and Investment Plan (CIIP), focusing on land pooling zones within the Amaravati capital region. 

The project will use zone-wise tenders under an engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) mode, with a seven-year operations and maintenance phase to ensure long-term sustainability.

Andhra Pradesh’s Expanding Renewable Energy Ambitions

Andhra Pradesh is already among the frontrunners in India’s renewable sector, boasting an installed solar capacity of approximately 4,550 MW as of mid-2025. 

The newly approved Mylavaram plant comes soon after the sanctioning of two other major renewable projects: a 540 MW solar project in Anantapur and an 88 MW wind project in Kurnool, together adding 628 MW to the state’s green grid.

In tandem with these capacity expansions, Andhra Pradesh is ramping up its solar manufacturing capabilities. Jupiter Renewables, a subsidiary of Kolkata-based Jupiter International, is establishing a 4.8 GW solar photovoltaic cell and 1.5 GW module manufacturing facility at Rambilli in Anakapalli district. This facility, with an investment of INR 2,700 crore, is set to make the state a hub for solar technology production and export.
