New Delhi, July 05, 2018: Azure Power (NYSE: AZRE), one of India’s leading independent solar power producers, announced it has won a 600 megawatt (MW) solar power project through an auction conducted by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), a Government of India enterprise and a company with an AA+ domestic debt rating by ICRA, a Moody’s Company. The project is the largest solar auction in India and also the first Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) grid connected solar PV project auctioned by SECI. Azure Power expects to sign a 25-year power purchase agreement with SECI to supply power at a tariff of INR 2.53 (~US 3.9cents) per kWh, approximately 4% higher than the lowest bid in the same auction.
