Tata Power will install solar rooftop projects at the sites located at Durgapur in West Bengal, Pallavaram and Hosur in Tamil Nadu, a multi-modal manufacturing site at Pune, an upcoming factory at Marhowra in Bihar and a maintenance facility at Roza in Uttar Pradesh.

The project will be carried out on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis. The installation of the solar rooftop projects will help to generate over 1 million kWh of electricity per year and will lead to an average tariff reduction of around 30 percent.

Amit Kumar, vice president, supply chain – GE India and South-East Asia, said that India is an important manufacturing base for GE and sustainability is at the core of the company’s business. He mentioned that the country has a lot of potential for solar rooftop projects which need to be harnessed to meet India’s energy needs for manufacturing.
