SJVN won these 288 MW assets in the auction at an enterprise value of around ₹2,000 crores. NTPC had also participated in the auction.

This deal is in line with PTC’s strategy of exiting its wind power business. On the other hand, this deal will help increase SJVN Ltd.’s green energy portfolio other than hydropower.

At present SJVN Ltd. has 2,016.51 MW capacity in operation, 3,090 MW under construction, 686 MW is under pre-construction and 2,993 MW is under Survey and Investigation stage. SJVN Ltd. aims to be a 5,000 MW company by 2023, 12,000 MW company by 2030, and 25,000 MW company by 2040.

SJVL through its aggressive growth plans is greatly contributing towards the target set by Indian Government to achieve 450GW renewable energy capacity by 2030.
