Project Brief

The Purpose of this project activity is to generate electricity by harnessing the solar energy by using solar photovoltaic technology and there by feed the generated electricity to the Indian national grid.

Project activity involves installation of Solar photovoltaic power generation project in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan State of India. The Project activity has installed the Solar Photovoltaic based Panels to convert the available solar radiation into the DC power and there by installed the Inverters to convert the DC power to the AC Power.

Additional Information

The project is implemented by M/s Azure Power Maple Pvt. Ltd. The project is under commissioning process. The project has been connected to the National Grid through the locally available 33/220 kV at ISTS substation.

Opinion

LGAI Technological Center S.A. (Applus+ Certification) has performed a verification of the “300 MW Solar Project in Rajasthan”. The verification is performed on the basis of GCC criteria project verification standard, Version 3.1 for the project activity, GCC guideline and host country criteria, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting.
The review of the final version of GCC PSF (version 11, dated 03/06/2026) and the subsequent onsite audit / follow-up interviews has provided Applus+ Certification with sufficient evidence to determine the fulfilment of stated criteria. In our opinion, the project meets all relevant GCC project standard requirements for the GCC. The project is recommended by LGAI Technological Center S.A. (Applus+ Certification) for registration with the GCC.
The project activity has correctly described the Project Activity in the Project Submission Form (version 11, dated 03/06/2026) including the applicability of the approved methodology ACM0002 Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources, Version 21.0 and meets the methodology applicability conditions, is additional and is expected to achieve the forecasted real, measurable and additional GHG emission reductions, complies with the monitoring methodology, has appropriately conducted local and global stakeholder consultation processes and has calculated emission reduction estimates correctly and conservatively;
The project activity is likely to generate GHG emission reductions amounting to the estimated 753,026 tCO2eq annual average during the 10 year crediting period i.e. 14/02/2022 to 13/02/2032, as indicated in the PSF, which are additional to the reductions that are likely to occur in absence of the Project Activity and complies with all applicable GCC rules, including ISO 14064-2 and ISO 14064-3, and therefore requests the GCC Program to register the Project Activity; The Project activity is not likely to cause any net-harm to the environment and/or society and complies with the environmental and Social Standard, and therefore requests the GCC Steering Committee to register the Project Activity, which is likely to achieve the requirements of the Environmental No-net-harm Label (E+) and the Social No-net-harm Label (S+).
The Project activity is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), comply with the Project Sustainability Standard/5/, and contribute to achieving a total of 3 SDGs (SDG 7, 8 & 13), which is likely to achieve the silver SDG certification label (SDG+).

By displacing fossil fuel-based electricity with electricity generated from a renewable source, the project results in reductions of CO2 emissions that are real, measurable and give long-term benefits to the mitigation of climate change. Emission reductions attributable to the project are hence additional to any that would occur in the absence of the project activity. Given that the project is implemented as designed, the project is likely to achieve the estimated amount of annual average emission reductions of 753,026 tCO2e per year.
The verification has been performed following the requirements of the latest version of GCC verification standard, Version 03.1, GCC Project Standard, version 4.0 and on the basis of the contractual agreement.
In detail the conclusions can be summarized as follows:
- The project does not result in negative social, environmental and/or economic impacts.
- The project contribution to Environment, Social Development and Economic and technological development
- The project additionality is sufficiently justified in the GCC PSF.
- Conservative assumptions were applied in the project description.
- The monitoring plan of SDG parameters is transparent and adequate.
- The project meets the local stakeholder consultation requirements.

The conclusions of this report show, that the project, as it was described in the project documentation, is in line with all criteria applicable for the verification.
