Tata Power Renewable Energy, an arm of Tata Power, said it will set up a 100 MW solar power plant for Viraj Profile (VPPL) in Maharashtra. VPPL is a stainless steel manufacturer, which owns and operates a plant located at Tarapur at Nandgaon.

The project is expected to be commissioned by July 2023, TPREL said without sharing any financial details of the project. According to industry estimates, to set up every 1 MW of solar capacity, an investment of over Rs 4.5 crore is required.
