Mahindra, Azure Power, Hero propose to set up 100 Mw solar plants in Odisha

Odisha recently cleared a plan by NEEPCO to invest Rs 9.44 billion to set up a 200-Mw solar power plant

After a slow start, Odisha is seeing traction from private players in solar power.

Mahindra Susten, Azure Power and Hero Future Energies have proposed to install solar plants of 100 Mw capacity apiece in the state.

“We have received proposals from five leading players who have proposed to set up 100 Mw capacity solar units each in the state. These include Mahindra Susten, Azure Power and Hero Future Energies”, said a Gridco official.

The proposed capacities of the renewable majors are in response to 200 Mw tender floated by Gridco, the state run bulk power purchaser.
