The company stated that its JV between Gayatri Energy Ventures and SembCorp Utilities - Thermal Powertech Corporation India has signed a long-term power purchase agreement with power distribution companies in Telangana.

Under the power purchase agreement, 570 megawatts of power will be sold to the Southern and Northern power distribution companies of Telangana for a period of 8 years.
