- Location: Arimalai Village, Anaicut Taluk, Vellore District, Tamil Nadu.

What captive solar means
"Captive use" means the electricity generated is meant for the company's own consumption rather than for sale to others. The power is transmitted ("wheeled") through the state utility's network under open access rules from the solar site to the company's own premises.
Conditions noted by the utility
The approval memo from the Superintending Engineer, TEDC/Tirupattur, carries conditions, including that MRT clearance be obtained before commissioning of the solar power generator, that check readings be recorded with the open access software updated when solar plants on the feeder are rearranged, and that the test report from the promoter be submitted to the concerned offices immediately on commissioning.
How investors may read it
The company describes the initiative as aligned with optimising sustainable operational costs and expanding its clean energy footprint. In practice, a captive solar plant is generally aimed at meeting part of a company's own electricity needs over time. The update is an operational update on project completion.
