According to the company, it won the project in a rate-based competitive bidding process that SECI had applied for for the establishment of 1,200 MW ISTS-connected wind power plants (Tranche - XII).
The company's total power generation portfolio then grew to 7.3 GW, with a renewable energy percentage of 57 percent, it was reported.
According to the statement from Prashant Jain, Joint Managing Director and CEO of JSW Energy, "This is another step in our sustainable growth plan and we will continue to actively contribute to achieving India's sustainable and net-zero aspirations."

JSW Neo Energy is a vehicle created as part of the company's reorganization to take ownership of all renewable/green power generation assets.
