Long-Term PPA Ensures Stable Returns

The 300 MW solar project was commissioned in November 2021 and operates under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL). The long-term PPA underlines the project’s revenue stability and operational viability, making it an attractive asset in India’s renewable investment ecosystem.
