The company has a portfolio of more than 2.7 GW across 17 states in India and serves marquee customers across ten sectors, including pharmaceuticals, automobiles, cement, steel, heavy engineering, FMCG, educational institutions, IT & data centres, utilities, and government bodies.

The financing involves participation from SMBC Bank of Japan, global alternative asset manager ICG, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
