Being developed at village Banderwala, in Bikaner, Rajasthan, the 1000 MW Solar Project is expected to generate 2,454.84 million units of energy in the first year, and about 56,474 million units cumulatively. The project is scheduled for commissioning by 30 September, 2024.
SGEL will supply 100 MW solar power at a tariff of Rs 2.62 per unit, from the project secured through competitive bidding.
