Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 9: In a significant development in its solar power initiative, Rhetan TMT Limited, a leading name in steel manufacturing, has identified a site in Banaskantha for setting up its 2 MW solar power project. The company is set to enter into a lease deed for land in Banaskantha’s Un village for the project, aimed at powering its factory at Kadi in Mehsana.
This development follows a strategic decision to shift the project site from Aravalli district due to unforeseen challenges with the lessors. The company has already placed an order for plant installation and has received provisional approval from the Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA). Moreover, an application for connectivity approval was submitted to Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation (GETCO) on December 6, with approval anticipated by mid-January.
Highlights:
- At ₹21.70, the stock has grown by an impressive 178% in just over a year
- Announces plans to establish a 2 MW solar power plant at a newly leased site in Banaskatha, Gujarat.
- GETCO approval expected by mid-January 2025
- project completion anticipated by April-May 2025
