Mumbai: Sydney-based foundation resource administration aggregate Macquarie Group Ltd is hoping to secure the sun based power resources of Canadian Solar in India, said two individuals near the advancement, asking for namelessness. Macquarie's choice comes when access to assets for sustainable power source is evaporating in India.
Ontario-based Canadian Solar is a worldwide vitality supplier with backups in 20 nations. It is a main maker of sun powered photovoltaic modules. It additionally works as a designing, acquirement and development player, other than being a sun powered stop designer. In India, Canadian Solar has an arrangement of 160 megawatts (MW), and has introduced more than 1 gigawatts (GW) of modules, including a 25 MW sun powered ranch in Bikaner, Rajasthan, and a 35 MW venture in Bagalkot, Karnataka.

Levies for power created at utility-scale sun based ranches contacted a record-breaking low of 2.44 per kilowatt-hour sooner this year, however have since ascended from those levels.
