The executed PPA covers a contracted capacity of 300 MW, with the project tenure set for 25 years from the Scheduled Commencement of Supply Date (SCSD), which is slated for May 28, 2028. The project, awarded under Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) guidelines, involves a tariff of Rs 6.28 per unit.
