Avaada Energy obtains Rs 5.97 billion refinancing for solar initiatives


Avaada Energy, a prominent Independent Power Producer (IPP) in India, has secured Rs 5.97 billion in refinancing for its Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar projects located in Karnataka and Maharashtra. The refinancing, facilitated by NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited (NIIF IFL), aims to enhance the financial structure of these operational solar projects and support future growth.

He noted that the improved terms would enhance the financial standing of the projects and create value for stakeholders.

Mittal remarked that the refinancing aligns with Avaada’s commitment to a sustainable future and emphasizes the company's role in reducing carbon footprints on a global scale.
