Tata Power is currently developing 49.5MW and 32MW wind farms in Maharashtra, as well as 94.8MW and 134.4MW wind projects in South Africa. It is also building a 25MW solar plant in Gujarat, a state in which more than 900MW of of PV capacity was developed under the watch of former chief minister and current prime minister of India, Narendra Modi.
