The project's commissioning is expected in the first half of 2021.

Eden Renewables India was founded in 2016 as a joint venture between EDF Renewables and Total Eren to build and operate solar PV projects across India. As of 2021, the company has 207 MWp operating solar plants, 450 MWp under construction, and over 1,600 MWp under development and due to be commissioned by 2022.
