The company’s target is to generate over 80 MW of renewable energy by this fiscal year. Mr. Chandak said that the company is currently producing about 20 MW at Durgapur; 15 MW of this would be available for sale. He added that nearly 8 MW could be surplus at its 12 MW power plant at Vadodara. The article indicates that the 16 MW unit located at the company’s new plant in Mundra is expected to have 10 MW of power available for sale after meeting the plant’s internal requirements.
