The SJVN share price gained 2 percent in early trade on March 20 after its green power wing bagged a solar project from the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL).
SJVN Green Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, received a letter of award from MSEDCL for a 200-MW solar power project to be developed anywhere in the state of Maharashtra, SJVN said in a press release.
