The adjacent 30MW and 20MW solar farms, which together will be one of India’s largest PV installations, are part of a second batch of utility-scale projects contracted under India’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (NSM).

Construction of both projects is expected to begin this year and completed in the first quarter of 2013, with Arizona-based First Solar supplying more than 585,000 modules.
