Azure cited a 46% increase in operating revenue, up to INR 948.8 million (US$14 million) as the primary driver for the EBITDA increase.
India’s burgeoning PV market has provided Azure Power the opportunity to win and connect large scale projects, recently including three 50 MW plants completed in Punjab, and a successful bid for 50 MW of projects in Andhra Pradesh. Azure has increased its operational & commited capacity to 1071 MW as of December 31st 2016, compared with 267 MW one year earlier.
