This financing arrangement is specifically earmarked for green projects, further bolstering REC's commitment to sustainable development initiatives across the country.

The loan, provided under the "Green Deal" initiative, reflects REC's proactive approach towards promoting environmentally-friendly projects in sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate change mitigation. It underscores the company's dedication to supporting India's transition towards a low-carbon economy while addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
