Welspun – one of India’s most ambitious developers of solar and wind plants – expects the project will cost $183m and begin operations in 2015.

The company, part of Indian conglomerate Welspun Group, says the Chhattisgarh state government will help facilitate the necessary approvals and land acquisitions needed for the development.

Located in central India, Chhattisgarh is one of the country’s major mining centres.
