Last week, Hindustan Zinc said that it has executed a long-term renewable power delivery agreement (PDA) up to a capacity of 200 MW with SPV, namely Serentica Renewables India 4 Private Limited.
The company announced an investment of Rs 350 crore for a 26 percent stake in the special purpose vehicle (SPV) that was created on February 18 for the implementation of RE power projects.
