with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) for the development of a 150

evolving power infrastructure. Under the terms of the agreement, Advait BESS
Bhesaan Private Limited will develop, own, and operate the project and make the
contracted storage capacity available to GUVNL on a long-term basis. The BESPA
has a tenure of 12 years from the effective date of signing.
