Adani Green bags 8GW solar project, to invest Rs 45,000 crore
Adani Green Energy has won India’s largest manufacturing-linked solar power agreement, awarded to date by SECI, to set up a 8,000 megawatt or 8 gigawatt (GW) solar power generation capacity, and 2,000 megawatt or 2GW solar cell and panel manufacturing capacity in the next five years. The projects will entail an investment of Rs 45,000 crore ($6 billion) and create job opportunities for over 4 lakh people.
The cell manufacturing capacity of 2GW will be over and above the existing 1.3GW that Adani Solar currently manufactures. According to people in the know, French energy major Total SA that invested around Rs 3,707 crore in April to form an equal joint venture for operating solar power assets of Adani Green, is likely to invest in the project.
