The integrated renewable portfolio is expected to generate over 1,000 direct and 2,000 indirect green jobs in Gujarat. Additionally, nearly 5,000 employment opportunities will be created during the construction phase, supporting the local economy.
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel ji, said: “Avaada Group has been a trusted partner in Gujarat’s renewable energy journey since signing its first 40 MW MoU sixteen years ago. Their new ₹36,000 crore investment in solar, wind, and battery storage further strengthens our shared vision for sustainable growth. The Government of Gujarat has assured full support for the speedy implementation of these projects, as Round-the-Clock green power is essential for realising the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s vision of a Viksit Bharat.”
Hon’ble Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Shri Pralhad Joshi ji, said: “India’s journey towards energy independence is being powered by visionary partnerships and bold investments like this. Avaada Group’s commitment to developing large-scale solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in Gujarat will not only strengthen our green energy ecosystem but also help us achieve the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Net Zero by 2070. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy welcomes such initiatives that combine innovation, sustainability, and employment generation, making India a global leader in the clean energy transition.”
