BC Jindal Group, India’s leading conglomerate with over Rs 180 billion turnover, has announced that its renewable energy arm, Jindal India Renewable Energy (JIRE) has won a 180 MW solar plus storage project from state-owned, NHPC.

In addition, the green-field project will have to be completed within 24 months from signing of the power purchase agreement (PPA).

This also gives impetus to our goal of expanding the company’s capacity to 5 GW from solar, wind, hybrid, hydro and FDRE modes, within the next four years. We aim to take this momentum forward in the upcoming quarters as well.”
