Indian renewable energy developer Azure Power has inaugurated a 28MW solar plant while starting construction for another 150MW project in Killianwali village of Muktsar district, in the Indian state of Punjab.

Combined the two plants required an investment of INR10 billion (US$148.7 million) and will power nearby villages. Tariffs for the plants range from INR5.62-7.33/kWh. The 28MW plant took less than 10 months to commission following the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA).
