BluPine Energy Secures $50 Million Loan for 120 MW Solar Power Project in Gujarat

BluPine Energy, in collaboration with HDFC Bank, has secured a loan of USD 50.1 million for its 120 MW solar project in Sadla, Gujarat. This financial closure marks a significant step towards renewable energy expansion in the region. According to the Economic Times, the project, operating under GUVNL, is expected to generate over 3.23 lakh MWh of solar energy annually.

This will effectively curb the emission of more than 2.96 lakh tons of CO2 per year. The electricity output from this project will be supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 25 years from the scheduled commercial operation date. This will further solidify the region's renewable energy infrastructure.
