Avaada Energy, a key entity in the Avaada Group?s renewable energy division, is pleased to announce its successful acquisition of approximately 1400 MWp in solar energy projects through recent tenders by central and state government agencies in India.

Marking a significant stride in India?s renewable energy journey, Avaada Energy has secured capacities of 421 MW, 280 MW, and 700 MW in tenders issued by renowned state-owned agencies SECI, GUVNL, and NTPC, respectively.
