“These pioneering ventures include green hydrogen and its derivatives, solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing, and an assortment of solar, wind and hybrid projects,” he said.

Talking about the MoU, Mittal said that this concerted effort aligns seamlessly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and Green Hydrogen Mission, driving India’s energy transition growth.

“The substantial endorsement from REC underscores Avaada’s unwavering dedication to a greener and more sustainable future for India. For over a decade, REC has extended steadfast support to Avaada, either directly or via the KFW and World Bank line,” he said.

Through these strategic alliances, Avaada is poised to transform India’s renewable energy landscape, solidifying its role as a key contributor in the global fight against climate change, Mittal said.
