Project scope
Kavaratti component: 1.4 MW solar PV (capacity basis not specified) with 1.4 MWh BESS; battery MW rating is not stated. The same passage identifies 300 kW of solar at Agatti and a combined Lakshadweep solar capacity of 1.7 MW; it does not state an Agatti battery.
Reported status and procurement
- Reported development
The broader Lakshadweep project heading is marked “Commissioned.” The page identifies Kavaratti as a component but does not give a separate Kavaratti commissioning date.
- Procurement availability
- Unknown / not established
A source report alone does not establish current progress or an open buying window.
Project summary
SECI’s Own Projects page describes the Kavaratti component as a 1.4 MW solar PV plant with 1.4 MWh BESS at Kavaratti. It also lists 300 kW of solar at Agatti and a combined Lakshadweep solar capacity of 1.7 MW; that total is not Kavaratti-only capacity. The broader Lakshadweep project heading is marked commissioned, without a separate Kavaratti commissioning date. SECI presents the listed projects as its own; this is the page’s attribution, not independent verification of legal title. (SECI, Own Projects page, introductory description and Lakshadweep project entry.)
A Ministry of Power inventory reports 1,400 kW of solar at Kavaratti and 300 kW at Agatii, with a 0.5 MW / 1.4 MWh BESS at Kavaratti. The inventory is stated as of 30 June 2026; the release displays 30 July 2026 at 14:53 IST. It reports installed capacity, not current operating performance. (Ministry of Power release, 30 July 2026, Table II, Lakshadweep row and capacity columns.)
In its CAMC/SaaS tender dated 9 September 2025, SECI’s operating-project table reports the paired Kavaratti/Agatti row as operational since 2024 and lists M/s Sunsource Energy Pvt. Ltd. for Jul’24–Jul’34 under running O&M contract details. The row does not separately allocate responsibilities between the islands. The tender concerns a five-year portfolio asset-management centre and SaaS license; it does not establish a current Kavaratti-specific battery or EPC package. (SECI CAMC/SaaS tender, cover and page 15, Table 1, row 4.)
Evidence limits and unknowns
The solar capacity basis (AC or DC) is not specified in the SECI listing or the Ministry of Power table. (SECI, Own Projects page, Lakshadweep entry; Ministry of Power release, Table II, Lakshadweep row.)
The sources do not give an exact Kavaratti-specific commissioning date. The Ministry inventory date and the tender’s reported operational status do not establish one. (SECI, Own Projects page, Lakshadweep heading and entry; Ministry of Power release, Table II; SECI CAMC/SaaS tender, page 15, Table 1, row 4.)
The supplied inventory and tender row do not establish current operating availability or performance. (Ministry of Power release, Table II, Lakshadweep row; SECI CAMC/SaaS tender, page 15, Table 1, row 4.)
The tender row does not establish whether the recorded O&M arrangement has since changed or specify separate Kavaratti and Agatti responsibilities. (SECI CAMC/SaaS tender, page 15, Table 1, row 4.)
A current Kavaratti-specific procurement package or buying window is not established by these sources; the buying window remains unknown. (SECI CAMC/SaaS tender, cover and page 15, Table 1, row 4.)
