India’s renewable energy sector received a significant boost as SAEL Industries commissioned a 600-megawatt solar power plant in Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool district. The large-scale project, spread across more than 2,400 acres, is backed by a 25-year power purchase agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India, ensuring long-term revenue visibility. Developed through two subsidiary units, the facility is expected to contribute substantially to the national grid while reducing carbon emissions by approximately 11 lakh tonnes annually.
