SECI, DoSEL Sign MoU to Solarise Education Department Buildings Across India

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and the Department of School Education and Literacy (DOSEL), Ministry of Education, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for solarising DOSEL buildings across India.

Under this collaboration, SECI will facilitate the installation of grid-connected rooftop solar PV power plants across DoSEL buildings nationwide under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, supporting India’s transition towards cleaner, sustainable public infrastructure, stated SECI.

The MoU was signed and exchanged by Bhagwati Prasad Kalal, Director, DoSEL, in the presence of Mir Mohammed Ali, Director, MNRE, and Manas Ranjan Mishra, Deputy General Manager (Solar), SECI, representing DoSEL and SECI, respectively.
SECI, in the last one year, have also increased its focus on the distributed renewable energy segment primarily the rooftop solar segment. In February 2026, SECI signed an MoU with the Mumbai Port Authority to deploy solar power across port facilities, to green critical port infrastructure and deepen cross-sector collaboration.

In January 2026, SECI signed an MoU with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to install grid-connected rooftop solar systems on DGCA buildings nationwide under the PM Surya Ghar scheme. SECI also signed an MoU with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to solarise around 244 municipal buildings across Delhi.

In November 2025, SECI and the Ministry of External Affairs inked an MoU to equip all MEA buildings across India with grid-connected rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.

In October 2025, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and SECI signed an MoU to develop 300 MW of solar-based renewable energy projects across DRDO campuses nationwide, aiming to establish self-reliant, Net-Zero campuses across all strategic DRDO locations by 2027.

In August 2025, SECI signed an MoU with the Renewable Energy Agency Puducherry to solarise all government buildings in the Union Territory.

Earlier this month, SECI signed its first-ever 700 MW Commercial and Industrial (C&I) renewable energy term sheet with Acme Cleantech Solutions, expanding its clean energy supply portfolio beyond DISCOMs to cater to India’s growing C&I market.
Recently, SECI and MahaGenco Renewable Energy have signed an MoU to jointly explore and develop renewable energy and emerging clean energy projects with a potential pipeline of up to 5 GW, spanning FDRE, RTC power, energy storage and green hydrogen technologies.
