Adani Green Energy, the renewable energy unit of the Adani Group, led by billionaire Gautam Adani, won the approval in February last year to invest $442 million and develop the 484 megawatts wind power plants in Mannar town and Pooneryn village, both located in the Northern province of Sri Lanka.

The report, "Advancing Clean Technology Manufacturing," indicates a substantial increase in funding for solar PV and battery production. Solar PV manufacturing spending more than doubled last year, while investment in battery manufacturing rose by about 60 per cent.

The increase in bids was driven by the large-scale potential for market growth, support from central government policies, and the prospect of higher operating margins.

The next round would include projects such as river transport on the Danube or energy generation from solar and wind.
