"The sale of the group's solar assets to Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), is yet another positive step taken in this direction. We have maintained a constant process of identifying the right potential partner for the sale of our precious infra assets and we are extremely glad to sign the agreement with AGEL. The group remains focused towards its commitment made to its lenders and is furthermore confident to complete the overall repayment process," said the spokesperson.
The group is also constantly working towards arriving at a closure on the divestment of the additional 480 mw solar assets portfolio.
