TPREL CEO Ashish Khanna said: “We are glad to be associated with SJVN for setting up this 100MW landmark solar project in the ground-mounted segment.

“The project win further solidifies our expertise in developing and deploying large-scale renewable projects for the public and corporate sector clients around the country.”

SJVN is an Indian state-owned energy company, which focuses on hydro, thermal, solar, and wind as well as in power transmission and power trading businesses.

It is a joint venture between the Government of India and the State Government of Himachal Pradesh.

TPSSL has expertise in delivering customised strategic renewable projects and commissioned numerous large-scale solar ground-mounted projects in the country.

With this latest LoA, TPSSL’s total portfolio will reach 9.9GWp mark.

In May this year, SJVN reached an agreement with Tata Power Solar Systems to develop a 1GW solar power project in Bikaner, Rajasthan.

According to SJVN chairman and managing director Nand Lal Sharma, it is the largest solar contract awarded in India to date.
