New Delhi, May 2 (PTI) Avaada Energy on Thursday said that it has secured Rs 1,190 crore loan for a new solar project in Gujarat from the State Bank of India.
The financing, sanctioned and disbursed as a 20-year project loan facility, will support the development of a 400 MWp utility-scale solar PV power project in the Surendra Nagar district of Gujarat, a company statement said.
Power generated from the project will be procured by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL), an apex body of the government of Gujarat, engaged in the bulk purchase and sale of electricity.
