Azure Power Global Limited, an India-based company, has completed a ₹24 billion (~$288 million) refinancing, structured as an INR Term Loan, underwritten by REC Limited. According to Azure Power, this refinancing enabled the prepayment of its $350 million (~$4.2 million) Green Bonds, initially issued in 2019 for 10 solar projects commissioned between 2016 and 2019.
