This is one of the many key milestones in our endeavor to generate 20-25 percent of Tata Power’s total generation capacity from clean energy sources. The clean energy project is well in line with our core business value of sustainable growth, and will further enhance and increase our clean energy footprint. As always, we take this opportunity to extend our hearty appreciation to the Government of Gujarat and all our stakeholders for the support extended in making this project successful.”
