ACME Solar Holdings Secures ₹1,988 Crore Financing From PFC And Wins 300 MW SECI ISTS Solar Project With Competitive Tariff Of INR 3.05 per Unit

ACME Renewtech Private Limited, a subsidiary of Acme Solar Holdings Limited, has successfully secured INR 1,988 crore in term loan financing from Power Finance Corporation (PFC) to fund the development and construction of a 300 MW Solar-Wind Hybrid Renewable Energy Project.

The project will be located in high-resource potential areas, with solar capacity to be developed in Bikaner, Rajasthan, and wind sites in Bhuj, Gujarat. Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) has already been signed with NTPC, and grid connectivity for the project is in place. The land for the solar capacity has been fully procured.

In addition to this significant development, Acme Solar has achieved another milestone in its renewable energy portfolio by securing a 300 MW Solar Power Project under the SECI-ISTS XVIII scheme at a tariff of INR 3.05 per unit. The project is required to commence operations on or before June 30, 2025 as per the PPA terms. To fulfil this, ACME Solar plans to allocate its existing under-construction Acme Sikar project to the new bid, leveraging its existing grid connectivity in Bikaner-2 and the significant capital expenditure already incurred. The project will benefit from the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) waiver, as the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) is set before June 2025, aligning with the government’s incentives for the early operationalization of renewable energy projects.
