The proposed Rs4,200 million (mn) reallocation of unutilised IPO proceeds will part-finance the Rays Green manufacturing project on 41.30 acres allotted by the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation. Rays Green executed the registered lease deed on four March 2025, has obtained consent to establish from the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board and construction has commenced. The project is estimated to cost Rs10,000 million (mn) with a capital cost of around Rs4,170 million (mn) per GW and may benefit from a subsidised electricity tariff of about Rs four point three zero per unit.
