Vineet Mittal highlighted the strategic importance of these projects in Avaada's operational portfolio, stating, "Our pumped storage projects will not only provide Round the Clock (RTC) renewable power but also enhance grid stability by integrating more solar and wind energy."

Beyond pumped storage, Avaada Energy is spearheading several other renewable initiatives in Maharashtra, including decentralized agricultural solar PV projects and solar and wind hybrid installations. One notable project under the company's belt is the 1,138 MW decentralized agricultural solar PV initiative under Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana 2.0, aimed at providing uninterrupted daytime power to farmers and bolstering the state's push towards sustainable energy sources.

The implementation of these projects is expected to create over 3,000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing significantly to the socio-economic development of the region.

Additionally, the use of advanced pumped storage technology is anticipated to substantially reduce carbon emissions, aligning with the state and national objectives for a sustainable future
