The Indian state-owned coal mining and power generation company NLC India has been awarded an 810 MW solar PV project from Rajasthan power distribution company Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Nigam Ltd (RRVUNL). The project will be built as part of RRVUNL’s 2 GW Ultra Mega Solar Park loacted in the Pugal town of the Bikaner District, in the Indian State of Rajasthan.

The project must be commissioned within 15 months of the PPA signing date.
