Amara Raja Infra Private Limited (ARIPL), part of the $1.75 billion Amara Raja Group, has accomplished a significant achievement by securing a new solar project in Bangladesh. This venture serves as ARIPL's entry into the international solar market, marking a new milestone for the company.

ARIPL in collaboration with Premier SolarPowertech, a leading manufacturer of solar modules in India, secured the project from Rural Power Company Ltd (RPCL) in Bangladesh.

The project spans 326 acres at Madarganj in Jamalpur Districtand will becompleted in the next 18 months.After the project is commissioned,ARIPL will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for two years, along with warranty spares and consumables.

Vikramadithya Gourineni, Director, Amara Raja Infra Pvt Ltdsaid, "It is an extraordinary achievement for the Amara Raja Group to secure this contract amidst stiff competition from industry giants. In a short period of time, we have taken on some of the biggest renewable energy projects in India, and with this project we can establish ourselves as a serious player in the international market as well."
