It has successfully signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) at a fixed tariff of ₹ 3.10 per unit for a 25-year term.
This investment marks RSTL's significant diversification into the clean energy space. The company said that the participation ensures stable long-term returns from the green and renewable energy sector. With its 10% stake in the SPV, the company will proportionally benefit from recurring income, adding a new dimension of sustainability-linked revenue to its business portfolio.
As part of this venture, Rama Steel holds a 10% equity stake in Onix IPP. The project is expected to generate gross annual revenue of ₹ 108.11 crore, translating to a total revenue of ₹ 2,702.81 crore over the 25-year PPA period.
Based on its stake, RSTL is projected to earn ₹ 10.81 crore annually, resulting in a total share of ₹ 270.28 crore over the entire duration of the agreement.
Mr Richi Bansal, whole time director & chief executive officer, 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.'
Earlier, the company entered the defence sector by incorporating Rama Defence Private Limited, which will engage in trading, importing, exporting, manufacturing, assembling, and supplying defence equipment, arms, ammunition, explosives, and related military and security hardware.

India Achieves Historic 100 GW Solar PV Manufacturing Milestone
Last Updated: India's solar PV module capacity hit 100 GW under ALMM, up from 2.3 GW in 2014. Minister Pralhad Joshi credits PM Modi's vision and the PLI Scheme. News18 India has achieved a historic milestone of 100 gigawatts (GW) of solar PV module manufacturing capacity registered under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), marking a significant leap in the country's renewable energy journey. Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, called it a 'remarkable rise" from just 2.3 GW in 2014, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision and initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High-Efficiency Solar Modules. He said the achievement strengthens India's path toward Atmanirbhar Bharat and its target of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030. The Government of India's commitment is to make India self-reliant in solar PV manufacturing and establish the country as a major player in the global value chain. This commitment is supported through a comprehensive set of initiatives, including the PLI Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules and measures to provide a level playing field for the Indian manufacturers. The catalytic effect of these interventions has resulted in an expansion in solar module manufacturing capacity, from just 2.3 GW in 2014 to over 100 GW today. This reinforces India's commitment to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and contributes meaningfully to global decarbonization efforts. The ALMM Order was issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) on 02nd January 2019. The first ALMM list for solar PV modules was published on 10th March 2021 with an initial enlisted capacity of around 8.2 GW. In just over four years, this capacity has grown more than twelvefold, crossing the 100 GW mark. This remarkable expansion is not just limited to depth of capacity achieved, but by the breadth of the number of manufacturers who has also significantly increased from 21 in 2021 to 100 manufacturers, who are operating 123 manufacturing units currently. This growth includes contributions from both established companies and new entrants, many of whom have adopted high-efficiency technologies and vertically integrated operations. The result is a diverse and competitive manufacturing landscape capable of meeting domestic needs and serving global markets. The crossing of the 100 GW solar module manufacturing capacity underscores the success of Indian solar PV manufacturing story, and the collective efforts of industry, various State governments, and the Government of India. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

He appealed to small traders to put up a board of indigenous goods at their shops and give priority to products made in the country. He said, 'We will use indigenous goods not out of compulsion, but with strength. This should be our mantra.' What areas did PM Modi focus on? The Prime Minister said that in today's IT era, the power of data and cybersecurity is very important. He emphasised the need to develop technologies like operating systems, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence in India. Along with this, talking about the coming electric vehicle era, he said that all the things required for EV batteries, solar panels and EV infrastructure should be made in India itself. He said that the youth of the country can play a leading role in innovation and production in all these areas. India to manufacture 24 LCAs in a year Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has started its third Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) production line at Nashik. This production line is the first LCA manufacturing facility outside Bengaluru, which is a very important step from a strategic point of view. Bengaluru already has two LCA production lines, with a combined annual capacity of 16 aircraft. Now with Nashik's additional annual capacity of 8 aircraft, India will be able to manufacture a total of 24 LCAs in a year.
