The project is expected to be operational within 24 months from the signing of the power purchase deal which will be supported by a mix of internal funds and debt.

Sembcorp added that the project is part of a two-gigawatt (GW) bid SECI issued for the ISTS-connected hybrid projects across the country.

This development raised Sembcorp’s renewables portfolio in India to 4.2 GW and its total capacity to 13.5 GW.
