Malaysia’s Petronas was earlier looking to buy about a 10 per cent stake in Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd, in addition to investing in Tata Power’s renewable energy infrastructure investment trust but the deal fell through.

This capacity addition comes at a time when India’s push for green energy has borne results, with the country
crossing the 100 GW milestone of installed renewable energy capacity. India is running the world’s largest clean energy programme to achieve 175 GW of renewable capacity, including 100GW of solar power by 2022.
