The total debt sanctioned for this ambitious project is INR 418 crores (USD 50.1 Million).

Sanjeev Bhatia, CFO of BluPine Energy, said, "Securing the financial closure for our 120 MW Solar Project in Sadla, Gujarat is an important step for BluPine Energy which was made possible by the debt from HDFC Bank. With the addition of this project, BluPine Energy’s cumulative solar and wind energy capacity in Gujarat will scale up to 750 MW respectively across 7 projects under GUVNL. Moreover, the overall renewable energy capacity will reach approximately 2.6 GW, with 730 MW currently operational.”
