The Loan Is Intended To Support Tata Power's $1.6bn Investment To Develop Pumped Hydro Storage Projects In Maharashtra. The Loan Structure Could Be A Bilateral Agreement Or A Syndicated Facility.

Tata Power Expects To Finalise Credit Arrangements Within The Next Three To Six Months. The Funds Will Be Disbursed As The Project Progresses. Loan Pricing May Be Set Above Benchmarks Like The Reserve Bank Of India's Repo Rate. India Aims To Nearly Triple Its Renewable Energy Capacity By The End Of The Decade.
