Financing support is being provided through a line of credit from the Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) and the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID).

“These projects are expected to enhance community safety, healthcare services, educational infrastructure, and overall energy sustainability in the Republic of Benin,” said Chiranjeev Saluja, Managing Director & CEO of Premier Energies. “The contract award represents a strong endorsement of our operational capability and global competitiveness.”
