Our fully integrated facility and unique 'four-in-one' business model as a manufacturer, developer, EPC, and O&M provider, aims to contribute to meeting India's energy needs and help position the country as a global solar leader. This allows us to ensure quality, cut costs, and rapidly deploy new technology, boosting our energy security and self-reliance.”

Madhya Pradesh was chosen for the project due to its central location, strong infrastructure, investor-friendly ecosystem, and renewable energy policies. The plant is expected to generate over 1,000 jobs during construction and employ about 1,400 people once operational, contributing to socio-economic development in the region.
