Solar Energy Corporation lifts Reliance Power debarment notice

The Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd (SECI) on Tuesday (December 3) announced the withdrawal of its debarment notice against Reliance Power Ltd and its subsidiary, Reliance NU BESS Ltd, effective immediately.

The initial notice, issued on November 6, 2024, barred the entities from participating in SECI’s future tenders for three years. SECI’s decision follows legal proceedings concerning the matter.

In a public notice dated December 3, 2024, SECI clarified that the withdrawal is made without prejudice to its right to pursue further actions in accordance with applicable laws.
