In these geographies the company would look for power generation and distribution projects as well as resources. The firm is planning to focus on thermal, wind and solar areas. Faced with multiple domestic sectoral headwinds, the company’s this decision is on account of ongoing issues in the Indian power sector.

The company has an installed capacity of over 3,790 MW and expects to have a capacity of 25,000 MW by 2017.
