Avaada Group has committed an investment of INR 20,700 crore for 1.5 GW of floating solar projects, two 1 GW pumped storage projects (PSPs), and green energy equipment manufacturing units in the Indian state of Odisha. For the proposed investment, it recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Odisha at the Make in Odisha Conclave 2025.

The Make in Odisha Conclave, the state’s flagship investment summit, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is a platform for global investors, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore opportunities in Odisha’s dynamic economic landscape.

Speaking at the event, Vineet Mittal, chairman of Avaada Group, said, “Odisha is poised to lead India’s renewable energy revolution. The state’s rich resources and visionary leadership create unparalleled opportunities for green industrialization. Our INR 20,700 crore investment in renewable energy projects, including floating solar and pumped storage, demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and innovation. We are proud to partner with the Government of Odisha to build a greener, stronger future for the region.”

Avaada Group has presence across solar module manufacturing, renewable power generation, and the development of green hydrogen, green methanol, green ammonia, and sustainable aviation fuel projects. Its renewable power generation arm Avaada Energy aims to achieve capacity of 11 GWp by 2026. The group’s strong execution capabilities have attracted substantial international investment, including a $1.3 billion commitment in early 2023, with $1 billion from Brookfield’s Energy Transition Fund and $300 million from GPSC, a subsidiary of Thailand’s PTT Group.
