Rama Steel Tubes Limited (RSTL) has announced a major strategic move by entering the renewable energy sector through a Joint Venture (JV) participation in a 225 MW solar power project. The initiative is part of the Government of India’s PM-KUSUM scheme, which promotes solar power generation in rural areas and supports sustainable infrastructure.
The solar power project is being developed under Onix IPP, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), and is spread across multiple locations in Maharashtra. Onix IPP has secured Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) at a fixed tariff of ₹3.04 per unit for a duration of 25 years.
RSTL holds a 10% equity stake in Onix IPP, ensuring a proportional share of the revenue from the project. With this stake, the company expects:
This recurring income offers a stable, long-term financial stream for Rama Steel Tubes, adding a green component to its earnings mix.
The investment aligns with RSTL’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. It also supports the government’s PM-KUSUM initiative, which aims to utilize barren and government-owned lands for clean energy production. Additionally, the project is expected to drive rural development and create employment opportunities in local communities.
Mr. Richi Bansal, Whole Time Director & Chief Executive Officer, Rama Steel Tubes Limited, said, “We are proud to be part of this landmark renewable energy initiative. Our strategic investment in the 225 MW PM-KUSUM project not only strengthens our ESG profile but also diversifies our revenue base. This is a future-forward step aligned with India’s net-zero vision and rural empowerment.”
