In January 2021, RUMSL sought transaction advisory for the 600 MW floating PV project which probably will be among the largest floating solar power projects in the country when completed (see India PV News Snippets: CIAL, RUMSL, MPUVNL, NTPC).
Recently, Indian utility NTPC Limited commissioned 25 MW floating solar PV project in Andhra Pradesh, calling it the country's largest such facility (see India's 'Largest' Floating PV Facility Online).
