TPREL CEO Ashish Khanna said: “This is a significant project for Tata Power Solar and we are honoured to collaborate with NHDC. This partnership will highlight our working and project execution diversity to promote green energy across sectors.

“Floating solar projects are the game changer for the renewable industry. This project is a true reflection of our ability to pioneer world-class solar projects within a short period of time.”

With this award, TPSSL’s total utility-scale solar project portfolio has reached 9.8GWp.
