In its report, the global brokerage firm highlighted the key elements of Tata Power’s recalibration plan, including capitalising on renewables opportunity, entering hydro storage sector, and extending the transmission business beyond distribution.

A few days ago, Tata Power had said the company had acquired Bikaner-Neemrana Transmission Project through a bidding process to boost renewable energy evacuation in India. The project, which will be developed on a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) basis, will enable the evacuation of 7.7 GW of renewable energy from the Bikaner Complex in Rajasthan.
