Both plants are expected to generate 1.55 million units per megawatt energy annually.

Mr. Kuldeep Kumar Jain, COO- EPC, Vikram Solar,  on the occasion said:

We are happy to commission 2 prestigious Solar EPC Projects for West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company (WBSEDCL). Having extensive experience in installing solar plants at various topographies, we were able to offer good results to WBSEDCL.
