Vikran Engineering will be responsible for the implementation, operation and maintenance of the solar power plants over the contract period. The contracts have been awarded by a domestic entity and are structured for a long-term duration of 25 years from the date of commissioning.

The applicable tariffs for the projects range between Rs 2.75 and Rs 2.80 per unit, the company said.
