The company received Letter of Award ‘LOA’ through its subsidiary TP Vardhaman Surya Ltd.

This is one of the biggest industrial RTC power PPAs under the Group Captive segment in the country.

The project has a hybrid renewable capacity of 379MW solar and 587MW wind power.

Tata Steel, with an annual crude steel capacity of 35 million tonnes per annum (MnTPA), is one of the world’s most geographically diversified steel producers.

This project will fulfill a significant part of Tata Steel’s green energy requirements in India, saving 23,89,160 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Tata Steel will invest 26% equity in the said project. The project will be commissioned by June 1, 2025, as per the arrangement.
