This is despite its second unit's shutdown spanning half a month.

Thanks to additional capacity at its Aspari project in Andhra Pradesh.

Generation jumped 14% to almost 3m units.

India eyes boosting energy from rooftop panels to 40GW.

Bidding guidelines for the project are further delayed.

AT&C losses dropped from 53% to 9% since the acquisition in 2002.

Only 41GW of hydro potential are being used.

Many of the PV industry players have already wished for opportunities that were faster, easier, and better defined than actually develop a PV project from zero, though some of us have developed pretty neat skills doing exactly this. I have already commented on solar parks and their impact, which so far has been remarkable in PV and CSP.

Share of solar in its energy mix jumped to 15.82%.

This is in line with its goal to slash coal consumption.

It's popping the champagne on increasing renewable energy use.

It plans to double the power production.

It brushed the dust off with 168% earnings growth to Rs533 crore (US$79m).

The solar park concept is similar to an economic zone dedicated to the generation of power through solar energy and also to the manufacturing of solar energy components. A Solar Park will hold a number of solar power plants and manufacturing outfits, each developed by separate or the same groups/promoters.

The project will be commissioned by May 2017.

Around 208,000 homes will benefit from it.
