The company entered into a Power Sale Agreement (PSA) and two Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) and the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), respectively.

These agreements were formalized at SJVN’s Liaison Office in New Delhi in the presence of Bhupender Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director (Addl. Charge), and Sushil Sharma, Director (Projects).
“This is a significant step toward our vision of a sustainable energy future. These projects will strengthen the power infrastructure for urban and industrial users and contribute immensely to India’s clean energy targets,” said CMD Bhupender Gupta.
