Successful Implementation so far
Recent commissioning of projects includes the final phase of a 260 MW solar project in Gujarat and a 100 MW solar project in Karnataka. With the commissioning of these projects, Azure Power’s operational capacity in Gujarat is now over 270 MWs, the largest in the state.

The 260 MW project was won in an auction conducted by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (GUVNL), rated AA- by ICRA, a Moody’s company, and has been developed outside a solar park. Azure Power will provide power to GUVNL for 25 years at a tariff of INR 2.67 (~US 3.9 cents) per kWh, which is 8.6 per cent higher than the lowest bid in the market.

A 100 MW project was won in an auction conducted by Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd. and has been set up at Pavagada Solar Park, one of the largest solar parks in the world. The solar park is being developed by Karnataka Solar Power Development Corporation Ltd. 

Azure Power will supply power to the electricity supply companies of Karnataka for 25 years at a tariff of INR 2.93 (~US 4.6 cents) per kWh, which is 20.1 per cent higher than the lowest bid in the market.

Earlier in this fiscal year, Azure Power had commissioned a 40 MW project in Uttar Pradesh, a 50 MW project in Andhra Pradesh and over 60 MWs of solar rooftop projects.
