Indian company bags contract to build hybrid recycled power plants in Sri Lankan islets

COLOMBO, Dec 12: An Indian company has bagged the contract to build hybrid recycled power plants in three islets of Sri Lanka’s northern Jaffna district, a senior minister said here on Tuesday.

The decision to award the contract to U Solar Clean Energy Solutions (Pvt) Ltd to build hybrid recycled power plants in Delft, Nainathivu and Analathivu was taken at a cabinet meeting held on Monday, cabinet spokesman and mass media minister Bandula Gunawardena said.

The decision followed a competitive bidding process, limited to Indian suppliers only, initiated after India provided a grant of USD 11 million for the project.

The contract was granted to U Solar Clean Energy Solutions by the cabinet-appointed procurement committee after thorough evaluations, according to a cabinet note. (PTI)
