The total capacity of the project is a little over 21 MW and will help in reducing the yearly power bills by approximately Rs 8.8 crore.

The developers, during the project鈥檚 25-year life cycle, will recover the remaining cost. For Delhi, the developers would be selling power at Rs 3.13 per unit, a discount of 65% over discoms The project was to be commissioned in May 2020 or nine months of the tender being awarded as per the tenure terms since the work stalled in February due to disruptions caused in material supply by the nationwide lockdown.
