The company has recently announced the forging of partnerships and securing financial closure for capital totalling up to USD 1 billion.
Besides other financial institutions, Norfund, DFC, ADB, and Tata Cleantech were the major participants in the capital raise.
Alongside the $1 billion partnership revelation, SAEL aims to achieve a capital expenditure of Rs 15,000 crore in FY25. The company plans to implement 2-2.5 GW of renewable capacity annually, striving to attain a 10 GW target within the next four years.
