Overview
- GAIL signed contract agreements with TUSCO to build a 600 MW solar plant at TUSCO’s Solar Park in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh.
- The project includes a 550 MWh battery energy storage system that stores excess power and keeps output steady when sunlight dips.

- The announcement is based on a company press release that offers no independent verification or detailed timeline for permits, financing, or construction.
