Back in June 2016, the MNRE had approved a program to set up 1 GW of ISTS-Connected wind projects, following which the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) on behalf of PTC India Limited, tendered 100 MW of wind power projects.

Green Infra Wind Energy Ltd. and Inox Wind Infrastructure Services Ltd. both won the bid to develop 50 MW of wind projects each by quoting tariff of Rs 3.46/kWh. PTC India Limited had entered power purchase agreements with the winning bidders.

The Delhi Commission found the PSAs dated July 21, 2018, entered by PTC India Limited and BRPL to be in order and therefore approved them.
