Conversion to commercial corporate form enables expanded renewable energy development and revenue generating operations.
Approval was given for SECI to apply to convert from a Section 8 company to a Section 3 company under the Companies Act, 2013 and to rename it RECI, thereby removing not-for-profit constraints and permitting the entity to operate as a self-sustaining, revenue-generating organisation engaged in owning, developing and selling power, manufacturing solar products, and expanding into all renewable energy sources to enable integrated generation and improved grid management.
