It is expected to be commissioned within 24 months from the signing of a power purchase agreement with project developers.

The 600MW wind power would be installed by Gujarat, Karnataka and Mahrashtra-based developers.

Under the ISTS Scheme, states with rich renewable energy sources can transmit power to states with insufficient renewable energy resources.
