Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC Limited) has secured a loan worth 1.85 billion Japanese yen from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). The loan has been taken by the company to fund KPC Gas Power Corporation’s 11.5 MW waste-to-energy project. The project is being set up at Bidadi, Ramanagara District, Karnataka.
This loan agreement was inked on August 17, 2023, as part of the 30 billion Japanese yen long-term facility that JBIC granted to PFC. The project will generate energy by utilising 600 tonnes per day of segregated municipal solid waste. The project is based on incineration using Hitachi Zosen India’s moving grate technology.
