Under the project, GPH will install 3.90 MWp solar PV systems on the factory rooftops of GPH Ispat Ltd located at Chottogram and 2.15 MWp on the rooftop of Eco Ceramics Industries Ltd at Munshiganj, reads a press release.

Under this facility agreement IDCOL will provide concessional loans up to 80% of the project cost.
