According to two state government officials of Andhra Pradesh, the state government has inked renewables investment pacts which is worth a total of around $16 billion. The pacts are signed with three companies which includes Adani and an affiliate of Singapore's GIC sovereign wealth fund.
As per news source, the officials said that the deals were struck during the World Economic Forum at Davos.
They also said that these deals will generate 38,000 jobs.
The agreement with Adani, run by India's richest man Gautam Adani, is to establish green energy projects including a 3,700 megawatt pumped hydro storage project and 10,000 megawatt solar power project, which will involve an investment of about 600 billion Indian rupees ($7.74 billion).
