Days after the demise of Ratan Tata, Tata Group continues to function smoothly. Several group companies are announcing new partnerships and projects for their growth. Now, Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has partnered with IndusInd Bank, whose market cap is Rs 80949 crore. The duo will offer financing options to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) for solar installations.
This alliance will provide MSEs with collateral-free solar financing, by offering loans ranging from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 2 crore, the Tata company said in a statement on Tuesday. These loans, contingent on the bank's credit approval, require a 20 per cent margin and come with competitive interest rates, offering terms of up to 7 years, the company said.
TPREL is a developer of renewable energy projects including solar, wind, hybrid, round-the-clock (RTC), peak, floating solar and storage systems. Deepesh Nanda, CEO and MD, Tata Power Renewable Energy said, "Through a partnership with IndusInd Bank, we are facilitating easy financing opportunities for MSEs (Micro and Small Enterprises) to adopt solar energy, which will not only help them reduce operational costs but also actively contribute to the green energy transition."
