Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power Company Ltd, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh government to develop renewable energy projects in the state.

The projects will be developed under Andhra Pradesh’s Integrated Clean Energy (ICE) Policy, which aims to establish over 160 GW of renewable energy capacity with an investment potential of Rs 10 trillion. (cnbctv18)
