The company plans to add solar power projects to its portfolio to harness renewable energy sources.

For the ongoing fiscal year, the company has set a capital expenditure target of Rs 8,800 crore, which could potentially expand to Rs 10,000 crore due to the influx of various projects.

An initial investment of Rs 1,000 crore has been allocated for this endeavour, with the possibility of further increases if the Manesar pilot project proves successful. The company’s ambitious capital expenditure plans underscore its dedication to bolstering India’s power infrastructure, promoting renewable energy adoption, and embracing modern technologies to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the nation’s energy ecosystem.
