Avaada Energy, part of Avaada Group, has secured approximately Rs 5.97 billion in refinancing for its commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
The refinancing was provided by NIIF Infrastructure Finance Limited (NIIF IFL), a debt fund focused on operational infrastructure projects.
