Engineering firm Sunil Hitech bullish to develop 200MW solar capacity in next 5 years

MUMBAI: Engineering firm Sunil Hitech Engineers expects to develop nearly 200 MW solar capacity in the next 5 years on the back of government's ambitious target of developing 100 GW renewable energy capacity by 2022, a top official of the company said.
The company, through its infrastructure arm Sunil Hitech India Infra (SHIIL), is currently developing a 5 MW solar plant in Maharashtra under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) phase II batch I.

The new government has given emphasis on setting up 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022.

"As an infrastructure company, we have the capabilities of setting up large solar plants so we can participate in this mission and we hope we can have a portfolio of at least 200 MW in the next 5 years," Sunil Hitech Engineers Joint Managing Director Sunil Gutte told PTI.

The company is also L1 for the 15 MW solar power project, which is yet to be awarded under the same scheme.

"The government has planned to set up solar parks in various parts of the country. We will be participating in the bids which we believe will come up for tendering in the next few months," he said.
