In March this year, Adani Green Energy had raised a $288 million financing facility by extending its construction financing framework to $1.64 billion for its under-construction renewable asset portfolio through agreements signed with leading lenders. The facility is expected to help finance 450 MW of hybrid solar and wind projects that the company is setting up in Rajasthan.
