The renewable projects — including wind, solar and hydel — will help the 4,600 MW power generation company in reducing its carbon footprint.

The total project outlay is expected to be Rs 4,700-4,800 crore. The project will be financed at 70:30 debt-equity ratio.
JSW Energy (Kutehr) Ltd is building 240 MW hydro power capacity at a cost of Rs 2,750 crore to supply to the state of Haryana. The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission has recently approved power procurement.
