Azure Power chief executive officer Inderpreet Wadhwa said that the facility has been constructed beside an existing 5MW unit, making it the largest under India’s National Solar Mission.
The solar power plant was funded by US-based Export-Import Bank while, First Solar has supplied thin-film solar modules for it.
Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam will be powered by the electricity generated at the plant.
Currently, India is constructing 1,000MW of solar power plants and is in the process of tendering for 2,000MW more.
