The firm will invest Rs 10 billion in the project, reports Wall Street Journal. It means that the company will provide $1.83 per watt of the project cost. According to the report, Vineet Mittal, co-founder, Welspun Renewables Energy Ltd, said, “Welspun Renewables Energy Ltd will secure necessary loans to partly fund the project.” He said that the state government will facilitate the project by approving it and acquiring land for the project.
