He said their endeavour is a step forward in realising the government's objective. In addition to meeting sustainability targets of the state, the project will also help in creating sustainable ecosystem by generating employment and revenue opportunities for local population.

Agarwal added that they are really pleased of all of their teams, particularly those on the ground.

He informed that in the face of significant execution hurdles, they have shown incredible devotion and tenacity.

The project would contribute significantly to India's clean energy goals.
