Both entities will source additional power from other developers and generators, which are not on DMRC sites. DMRC will enter into long-term power purchase agreements with the project developers, but SECI will be responsible for ownership and operation of the projects.

An action plan and a joint development team consisting of senior officials from both organizations will be formed to carry out the plans.
