The project will require an investment of INR14 billion (US$215 million) of which 70% will be debt and 30% equity.

Embassy plans to further scale its power business and build 1GW of renewable energy projects across India over the next few years.

Singhal said: “Since we are already consuming 200MW, the first 200MW will be for our own consumption. Once this is commissioned, we would have developed the necessary in-house expertise for setting up and managing large scale solar farms.

“So the first 200MW is not really diversification but more for backward integration.”
