Juniper Green Energy Makes History as India's First FDRE Project Enters Commissioning Phase
India's energy transition reaches a defining milestone — Juniper's integrated 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS project enters commissioning phase across Rajasthan and Gujarat Juniper races ahead of all industry peers to become the FIRST RE developer to begin commissioning under the SJVN FDRE scheme, delivering firm, clean power to Haryana just as summer demand peaks Having already pioneered India's first merchant BESS in Bikaner, Juniper Green Energy Limited now achieves another landmark — beginning commissioning of India's first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project under Government of India’s Flagship FDRE Guidelines, marking yet another historic first for the Indian power sector. The integrated project combines 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat, designed to deliver reliable, Firm and Dispatchable clean power aligned precisely to grid demand. Juniper Green Energy's FDRE power plant in Fatehgarh, Barmer, Rajasthan “This marks the start of India’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy project — a defining milestone in our vision to deliver firm and dispatchable renewable power. It reflects Juniper Green Energy’s strong execution capabilities, technological depth, and commitment to shaping the future of sustainable energy. By seamlessly integrating solar, wind, and battery storage at utility scale, we are not only demonstrating India’s clean energy potential but also setting new benchmarks for reliability and innovation in the sector. FDRE is not just a project type — it is our conviction about how India will power its future,” said Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy Limited. The FDRE Framework: Powering India's Grid on Demand As India's renewable energy capacity grew rapidly, grid stability became a pressing concern — solar stops generating at night and wind cannot be dispatched on demand. To bridge this gap, the Ministry of Power notified FDRE guidelines in June 2023, requiring developers to integrate solar, wind, and battery storage into a single project capable of delivering firm, scheduled power aligned precisely to Discom demand profiles. Unlike conventional renewables, FDRE is firm and dispatchable — making it, for the first time, a clean and reliable alternative to coal-based thermal generation Key Project Milestones The 259 MWp solar capacity commenced commercial operations in March 2026, while the 200 MWh BESS capacity began commercial operations in April 2026. Delivering Clean Power When Haryana Needs It Most As temperatures soar across North India in the summer months ahead, electricity demand in Haryana is expected to touch record highs. By commissioning its FDRE project ahead of schedule, Juniper Green Energy is directly addressing this critical need — delivering firm, renewable power that is both clean and dependable. The SJVN FDRE Tender Juniper Green Energy's FDRE project was awarded under a landmark tender floated by SJVN Limited under its SJVN FDRE Scheme, attracting India's leading renewable energy developers in a competitive reverse auction process. Juniper signed a 200 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN, which has in turn executed a back-to-back Power Sale Agreement (PSA) with Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), ensuring firm, clean renewable power to the state of Haryana. Of all the developers who successfully bid under this tender, Juniper Green Energy is the FIRST to begin commissioning and supply power. FDRE: The Future of India’s Energy Transformation The transformative impact of FDRE on India's energy sector is multi-dimensional — enabling distribution companies to procure clean power that truly mirrors their demand patterns, while driving large-scale investment in battery storage and accelerating India's domestic storage ecosystem. Since the Ministry of Power issued FDRE guidelines in 2023, over 10 tenders aggregating more than 14 GW of FDRE capacity have been launched by central and state agencies including SJVN, NHPC, SECI and NTPC, with approximately 10 GW already under construction — representing one of the fastest-growing segments in India's utility-scale renewable energy market. For Juniper Green Energy, FDRE represents a core pillar of its long-term strategy. The company is at the forefront of India's transition to firm and dispatchable renewable energy, actively shaping the market through advanced integration of solar, wind, and energy storage, and by leading early execution under national FDRE programs. As new tender cycles emerge across central and state agencies, Juniper is well-positioned to continue leading from the front — developing and commissioning large-scale FDRE projects, delivering reliable clean power, and setting new benchmarks in execution, innovation, and grid-ready renewable solutions in India. About Juniper Green Energy Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy power producer in India, focused on the development, construction and operations of utility-scale solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy projects. It is headquartered in Delhi NCR since October 2018; the company has grown its operational capacity to approximately 1.66 GWp (as of Jan 14 th , 2026).

Bumrah Bowling The First Over Was Masterstroke: McClenaghan
After Mumbai Indians: After Mumbai Indians (MI) snapped their four-match losing streak in emphatic fashion after thrashing the Gujarat Titans (GT) by a massive 99-run margin, former cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan hailed skipper Hardik Pandya move to deploy pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the first over to expose GT's fragile middle order, calling it a masterstroke. In this season so far, Deepak Chahar has opened the bowling on three occasions, while Bumrah has bowled the second over and the fifth and fourth on the other occasions. After Tilak Varma's breathtaking 101 off 45 balls propelled MI to a commanding 199/5, Bumrah set the tone instantly in the defense, claiming a first-ball wicket, his first scalp of the 2026 season, to jolt the hosts' top order. Jasprit Bumrah bowling the first over of the run chase was a masterstroke. That is exactly what we have been asking for in many games now. With no other bowler in MI's lineup able to penetrate with the new ball, they needed Bumrah to be used as an attacking weapon. They used him in the first three overs to try and break the opening partnership of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, and Bumrah delivered. GT rely heavily on their opening pair for runs, McClenaghan said on JioStar. Later, Ashwani Kumar rattled through the middle and lower order to finish with exceptional figures of 4-24 as GT were bundles out for 100.

IPL 2026: Tilak Varma, Ashwani Kumar star as Mumbai Indians outclass Gujarat Titans by 99 runs
Mumbai Indians achieved a commanding 99-run win against Gujarat Titans. Tilak Varma scored his first IPL century, setting a strong total. Mumbai's bowlers then dismantled Gujarat's batting lineup. Gujarat faced early wickets and struggled to build partnerships. The bowlers secured a comprehensive victory for Mumbai Indians.
Indian Premier League: Captain Hardik Pandya heaped praise on top batter Tilak Varma after his brilliant century helped the Mumbai Indians (MI) crush the Gujarat Titans (GT) by 99 runs in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. Pandya said that Tilaks knock was exactly what the team needed at the right moment. He highlighted that such performances were expected of a player of his talent and believed it was the right time for him to step up. The talent Tilak has, he does not need much advice. It was about time he came and delivered. It was much needed for the group, for Tilak and the Mumbai Indians, Pandya said after the match. Mumbai Indians put up a commanding total of 199/5, built around Tilaks sensational unbeaten 101 off just 45 balls, a knock that also saw him equal the franchise record for the fastest century. Naman Dhir supported well with a crucial 45-run innings, helping MI recover after early setbacks. Pandya also expressed satisfaction after the Mumbai Indians broke the four-match loss streak in IPL 2026. Very important. It is always challenging to go away and win. Also, Ahmedabad has not been a happy ground for the Mumbai Indians, so very satisfying, he said. Defending the total, MIs bowlers dominated from the start. Jasprit Bumrah struck on the very first ball, while Pandya himself removed Jos Buttler early in the chase. The pressure never eased on the Gujarat Titans as wickets fell regularly. Addressing questions around Bumrahs usage with the new ball, Pandya made it clear that it was a tactical choice. Quite fascinating, I have seen many people asking why Jassi hasn't bowled with the new ball, but he hasn't bowled with the new ball maybe 7 or 8 times, so it is not a Hardik Pandya problem, it is Jassi being special, he explained.

IPL 2026: 'We Gave Away Too Many Runs,' Says Gill After Gujarat Titans 'heavy Defeat' To MI
Indian Premier League: Skipper Shubman Gill admitted that the Gujarat Titans (GT) conceded too many runs in the middle overs as they slumped to a heavy 99-run defeat against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. Honestly, I think we gave away too many runs in the middle overs. On a wicket like that, I think 160-170 was a par score, Gill said after the match. Mumbai Indians had posted a commanding 199/5, riding on a sensational unbeaten 101 off just 45 balls from Tilak Varma, who also equalled the franchise record for the fastest century. Naman Dhir provided solid support with a 45-run knock, while Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the GT bowlers with three wickets. Chasing a big target, the Gujarat Titans never really got going. Jasprit Bumrah struck on the very first ball, while Hardik Pandya removed Jos Buttler early to put MI firmly in control. Despite a brief fightback, GT kept losing wickets at regular intervals. I think there are a lot of lessons for us from this game. A small hiccup, but now weve got a couple of games on the road, so hopefully we will come back on the winning side again, Gill said. Mumbai Indians bowlers dominated the chase, with Ashwani Kumar starring with a superb four-wicket haul, while Mitchell Santner and Allah Ghazanfar chipped in with two wickets each to bundle out GT well short of the target. Reflecting on what could have been done differently, Gill said his bowlers failed to adapt to the conditions. I think the wicket was a little bit on the slower side. I dont think we hit the right areas. The length ball wasnt coming on as well, some balls were coming, some werent, and some were keeping low, he said. I think we could have hit that length in the middle overs a bit more consistently, which we were not able to, he added.

IPL 2026: Tilak Vermas Ton, Ashwanis Four-fer Power MI To 99-run Win Over GT
Indian Premier League: Fast bowler Ashwani Kumar took four wickets after Titak Varma slammed an unbeaten century as the Mumbai Indians registered a dominant 99-run win in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. The big win gave a big boost to the Mumbai Indians' Net Run Rate as the five-time champions moved to seventh spot in the points table. Ashwani Kumar bagged 4-24 as the Gujarat Titans were bowled out for just 100 runs in 15.5 overs while chasing 200 runs as five-time champions. Earlier, India's T20 World Cup winner Tilak Varma smashed his maiden century off 45 balls and took the Mumbai Indians to 199/5 runs in 20 overs after a shaky start courtesy of Kagiso Rabada's three wickets in the Power-play. Chasing a challenging target of 200, the Gujarat Titans had a nightmarish start as they lost a wicket on the very first ball. Jasprit Bumrah struck immediately to dismiss Sai Sudarshan, marking his first wicket of the IPL 2026. The pressure continued in the next over when skipper Hardik Pandya removed Jos Buttler. The in-form batter was trapped lbw and, despite opting for a review, the decision stayed with the umpire. Buttler managed just 5 runs off 6 balls, leaving GT in early trouble. After the double setback, Sundar and captain Shubman Gill tried to rebuild the innings with a counterattack. The pair struck five boundaries in quick time, taking the score to 35/2 in four overs and briefly shifting momentum. However, just as the Gujarat Titans looked to stabilise their innings, young pacer Ashwani Kumar struck to remove Gill for 14 off 13 balls. Down three wickets, the Gujarat Titans ended the Power-play at 45/3, still under pressure in the chase. Mumbai Indians bowlers continued to dominate after the power-play. Allah Ghazanfar built pressure with a tight over before Mitchell Santner delivered a decisive double blow in the eighth over. He first dismissed Sundar for a brisk 26 off 17 balls and then removed Glenn Phillips with a clever slower delivery, leaving GT struggling at 56/5. With the match slipping away, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan tried to steady things with a partnership built on singles and doubles. However, the required run rate kept climbing, adding more pressure. The stand was broken in the 11th over when Tewatia edged a delivery from Ashwani and was caught behind by Quinton de Kock for 8 off 11 balls. Ashwani continued his impressive spell, striking again in his next over as Rashid Khan was caught for four. He then completed a brilliant four-wicket haul by dismissing Shahrukh Khan, who fell while attempting a big shot. Ghazanfar wrapped up the innings by picking up back-to-back wickets of Rabada and Mohammed Siraj in the 16th over, sealing a comprehensive bowling performance. Ashwani Kumar was the standout bowler for the Mumbai Indians, finishing with excellent figures of 4-24. Santner and Ghazanfar supported well with two wickets each, while Bumrah and Pandya chipped in with one wicket apiece as the Mumbai Indians dominated the chase from start to finish. MI had a slow start after being put in to bat. Openers Danish Malewar and Quinton de Kock could not get going. Malewar was dismissed early for two by Kagiso Rabada, and de Kock followed soon after, scoring 13. Naman Dhir tried to counterattack with a few boundaries, but Rabada continued his strong spell.

With this effort, he matched the long-standing record of Sanath Jayasuriya, who had scored a 45-ball century against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium back in 2008. The list of fastest hundreds for the Mumbai Indians now sees Tilak share the top spot with Jayasuriya (45 balls, 2008), followed by Cameron Green, who smashed a 47-ball ton against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023, and Suryakumar Yadav, who registered a 49-ball century against Gujarat Titans in the same season.

IPL 2026: Danish Malewar, The 21-year-old Vidarbha Star, Hopes For More Changes After MI Debut
Indian Premier League: A new name has entered the spotlight for the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) as 21-year-old batter Danish Malewar made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday. The Vidarbha batter was expected to come in place of Rohit Sharma in MI's previous match against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium last Thursday. But the team management decided to go ahead with the South African duo of Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock. However, Malewar, who came as an opener on Monday, failed to make an impact on debut as he struggled from the onset and got out against Kagiso Rabada after scoring just two runs in four balls in his debut innings. However, the youngster would be looking to do much better if he got more chances. Born on October 8, 2003, the 21-year-old from Nagpur is a right-handed top-order batter and a right-arm leg-break bowler. Known for his consistency in red-ball cricket and attacking intent in shorter formats, Malewar was picked by the Mumbai Indians at his base price of INR 30 lakh. His journey began at the City Gymkhana Academy under coaches Swaroopraj Shrivastava and Nitin Gawande. Joining at just seven years old, Malewar quickly stood out for his discipline and determination. By the age of 12, he was already representing Vidarbhas Under-14 team. One story often shared about him highlights his commitment. After returning from a tour at 2 am, Malewar chose to play an Under-14 final the very next morning and went on to score a century despite barely getting any rest. He rose through the ranks to become a key player for Vidarbha. In the 202425 Ranji Trophy season, he played an important role in their title-winning campaign, scoring 783 runs in nine matches at an average of 52. His tally included two centuries and six half-centuries, making him the teams third-highest run-scorer. One story often shared about him highlights his commitment.

IPL 2026: Tilak Varma's Century Guides Mumbai Indians To 199/5 Against Gujarat Titans
Indian Premier League: India's T20 World Cup champion Tilak Varma smashed his maiden IPL century as Mumbai Indians (MI) posted 199/5 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday despite early breakthroughs by Kagiso Rabada. Asked to bat first, the Mumbai Indians had a cautious start with a new opening combination of debutant Danish Malewar and experienced Quinton de Kock. The pair struggled to find timing early on, managing just two runs in the opening over, bowled by Mohammed Siraj. The pressure told in the second over when Kagiso Rabada struck early. Malewar, playing his first match, was trapped after scoring just two runs. De Kock tried to get going but couldnt convert his start, falling for 13 off 11 balls as Rabada produced a sharp caught-and-bowled effort. Amid the early setbacks, Naman Dhir looked positive and played a few attacking shots, including consecutive boundaries off Siraj. However, Rabada continued to dominate the Power-play, removing Suryakumar Yadav for 15 to leave the Mumbai Indians in trouble. At the end of six overs, the Mumbai Indians were restricted to 46/3. With the top-order back in the pavilion, Tilak Varma and Dhir focused on rebuilding the innings. The duo showed good composure, rotating the strike regularly and picking up boundaries whenever the bowlers erred. Their steady approach helped MI recover, as they reached 75/3 at the halfway mark. The partnership grew to 52 runs before Prasidh Krishna broke through in the 13th over. Dhir attempted a big shot but was caught in the deep, ending a valuable knock of 45 off 32 balls, which included several well-timed boundaries. Tilak, who had started cautiously on a slightly slow pitch, began to accelerate after Dhirs dismissal. He targeted the bowlers in the middle and death overs, especially taking on Prasidh Krishna in a high-scoring over that shifted momentum back in MIs favour. He brought up his half-century in 33 balls and continued to play aggressively. In the final overs, Tilak showcased his full range of shots, finding gaps with ease and clearing the boundary regularly. His timing and shot selection stood out as he took control of the innings. Tilak eventually reached his maiden IPL century in just 45 balls and remained unbeaten on 101. His outstanding knock was decorated with eight fours and seven sixes, helping the Mumbai Indians finish strongly and post a challenging total of 199/5. For the Gujarat Titans, Rabada was the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 3/33 in his four overs, making early breakthroughs that kept his team in the game. Siraj and Prasidh Krishna chipped in with one wicket each, but the bowlers struggled to contain Tilak in the final overs.

Its just that, as I said, the bowlers who are bowling with me and alongside me are creating enough pressure for false shots to come, and Im just benefiting with the wickets, he explained. Prasidh also underlined the importance of preparation and teamwork behind the scenes, noting that consistent communication and planning play a major role in execution on the field. Theres a lot of effort put in on the field as well, during practice days. There are a lot of discussions that go around with your fellow players and coaches.
