Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) raised an additional funding of $1.36b from a consortium of eight international banks to bring its Construction Financing Framework to $3b.

“The extension of the Construction Financing Framework to USD 3 bn is a historic landmark and will boost the development of the Khavda site which is poised to become the world’s largest Renewable Energy Park with a generation capacity of 17 GW. It will be a catalyst in the accelerated completion of the development activities at the project site,” said AGEL Managing Director Vneet S Jaain.
