The order brings Tata Power Solar’s pending order book to Rs135bn and its total utility-scale solar project portfolio to 9.7GWp.

Earlier this month, the company secured an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) order for a project worth Rs55bn ($716m) from Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN), an Indian state-owned power company.

The 1GW solar facility will be built in the Indian state of Rajasthan on a site covering more than 5,000 acres.

It will be developed under the CPSU scheme within a period of 24 months.

In a separate development, SJVN has agreed to build Arun-4, a 490MW hydropower project worth Rs49bn in Nepal.

For this project, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in Lumbini, Nepal, in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nepalese Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.

It is said to be the third ‘mega project’ to be built by SJVN in Nepal.
