According to the company's filing with BSE and NSE, the 52.32 MW / 209.28 MWh phase was commissioned on 17 September 2026 and is set to reach commercial operation on 19 September.
The project is in Kelan village, Chhatargarh tehsil, Bikaner district.

ACME Solar expects the rest to be commissioned by Q3 of the current fiscal year.
The first phase was reported days earlier. In a press release dated 16 September, ACME Solar described that phase as 53.63 MW / 300 MWh of BESS capacity out of a project total of 300 MW / 1,581 MWh, and called the project its first assured off-peak power supply project.
