Nava Limited commissions 100MW solar PV project in Zambia and signs 20-year PPA with ZESCO

Type: Ppa · Technology: Solar · Country: Zambia · Capacity: 100 MW · Announced: 2026-09-25

Nava Limited commissioned a 100 MW utility-scale solar PV project in Zambia through its step-down subsidiary Maamba Solar Energy Limited, with power evacuation to the Zambian grid now underway as of the announcement on 2026-09-25. The project has a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) in place with ZESCO, Zambia’s national power utility, covering the plant's entire generation. Maamba Solar Energy Limited is owned 65% by Nava Global (Nava Limited’s international arm) and 35% by ZCCM Investments Holdings, linking the project to both Indian and Zambian corporate stakeholders. The plant represents Nava Limited's first utility-scale solar venture and expands the Hyderabad-based group's generation mix beyond its existing 434 MW of primarily thermal and captive capacity in India across Telangana and Odisha. The commissioning signals Nava’s geographical diversification into African renewables and illustrates growing participation by Indian solar firms in Zambia and neighbouring markets such as the Serenje Province project referenced by Navitas Solar.
