Welspun set up the project on a PPP model with the utility Maharashtra State Power Generation Co. Ltd (Mahagenco). The power producer has been fully responsible for part-finance, design, and commissioning of the grid-connected plant.

Vineet Mittal, Welspun Renewables vice chairman, said: “The 52MW (DC) clean energy project is strengthening our partnership with the state of Maharashtra and advancement of the state’s utility-scale solar industry. This project is a testament of our commitment to furthering India’s clean energy mission.”

A Welspun statement said that it aims to commission 1GW of solar capacity in India this year.

Last month PV Tech reported that Trina Solar will partner with Welspun Renewables to build a 2GW module factory in India.
