July 2023 : Amara Raja Infra Private Limited (ARIPL), part of the US$1.75 billion Amara Raja Group, has accomplished a significant achievement by securing a new solar project in Bangladesh.

The scope of the project, valued at US$130 million, consists of Engineering, Design, Supply, Installation, and Commissioning of a 100 MW (AC) Solar PV Power Plant and will be funded by the EXIM Bank of India. ARIPL, in collaboration with Premier Solar of Hyderabad, secured the project from Rural Power Company Ltd (RPCL) in Bangladesh.

After the project is commissioned, ARIPL will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for two years, along with warranty spares and consumables.
