• For our employees
• For our community: • Azure power believes community engagement and CSR activities is at the heart of everything we do. We have designed all our activities by keeping in consideration the important social and environmental needs. Azure Power believes in giving back to the society by enhancing the livelihood of the rural communities and transforming their lives. We conduct all the CSR programs and activities consciously and responsibly at various rural locations for the benefit of diverse rural sections of the society. We hire from local communities and generally lease lands with few alternative uses, providing local communities with a stream of discretionary cash flow without displacing alternative businesses. As a result, we are able to build long term community relationships and create value for them • OUR CSR FOCUS AREAS Preventive health care and sanitation facilities in villages Promoting education in village schools Rural and slum area development projects Ensuring environmental stability • Sustainability report NEWSROOM • Recent news • NEWS • AV LIBRARY • MEDIA KIT CAREERS • Nextera, spower,skysolar,renew,enel,shell • We invite enterprising socially responsible individuals whose hallmark is to differentiate themselves through sheer excellence and integrity. We look for professionals who believe in simplicity, flexibility and reliability and can embrace the velocity of the rapidly growing scenario in Renewable Energy Space. At Azure Power, we provide energetic environment for you to learn, develop and grow with us. • Working with Us • We are committed to excellence in whatever we do and strive continually to improve.

We seek new opportunities and out-of-the-ordinary solutions, support a culture that foster entrepreneurship, transparency, clear communication, maintain employee and company ethics, and ensure employee health and safety while being socially responsible. • (know more – to life at azure) • Testimonials from employees CONTACT US UTILITY • Our Approach • VALUE ENGINEERING • Our in-house EPC allows us to enhance our system design expertise with each successive project, be flexible with our choice of technology and source from top-tier suppliers that optimizes both the system cost and power yield of the total solar block. We are able to further negotiate pricing as we have built a well-recognized brand, strong supplier relationships and significant economies of scale. As a result of our value engineering, we have seen a significant reduction in balance of system costs. • OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING • As the operator of the first utility scale solar power plant in India, we have been able to develop and improve on our operational expertise with each successive project to enhance output per watt. We have an advanced tracking system that allows us to manually track the sun’s seasonality by adjusting module angles multiple times per year specific to the location, thus increasing the power yield at lower costs. Further, we operate a National Operating Control Center, or NOCC, that allows us to monitor project performance in real-time and allows us to respond rapidly to potential generation anomalies. Feedback from our operating projects also serves to further enhance our project designs, resulting in enhancements for current and new plants and further reductions to our levelized cost of energy. • FINANCIAL STRATEGY • Our integrated business model also increases capital efficiency. We are able to offset project equity requirements through economic benefits generated by our EPC and O&M businesses. Coupled with our asset financing strategy we are able to optimize the overall cost of capital leading to enhanced economics for our customers and shareholders. To enable rapid operation of our projects, we use short term credit facilities that are refinanced with long term project finance facilities. Our strong track record and relationships with local banks offer us significant advantages when it comes to posting capital for bids. WHY SOLAR • Peak power deficits and rising power prices • India continues to be plagued by a persistent demand/supply mismatch with a six-year average energy deficit of approximately 5% according to the Ministry of Power, which has resulted in upward pressure in power prices. • Strong regulatory support • In order to reduce dependence on energy imports and curtail the current trade deficit and the resulting impact on the rupee, the Indian government has taken a number of steps to incentivize the use of renewable sources of energy. To provide further impetus to solar growth, the Indian government launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, or the NSM, in 2010. • Solar positioned to win among alternatives • India ranks among the highest irradiation-receiving countries in the world with more than 300 days of sunshine per year in much of the country. Solar power generation is viable across most of India, unlike wind and hydro resources which are concentrated in specific regions. In addition, as solar plants can be built near the point of consumption, power produced generally does not incur expensive transmission charges or require infrastructure or transmission investments. • Solar approaching parity • State utilities have seen power costs rise as domestic coal shortages have caused thermal generators to increasingly rely on more expensive imported fuels. An analysis of current tariffs in India indicates that solar power is now competitive with wind, new thermal capacity fueled by imported coal and grid power tariffs for commercial users. Further, diesel power, the most common replacement power source for commercial and off-grid users in the country, is far more expensive than solar power. • Transparent solar auction process • Indian solar auctions are conducted in a transparent manner that ensures bids meet minimum technical and financial criteria. Bidders must meet requirements on project development and execution history in India or the regional market, including bidder experience in the development of similar utility scale solar projects. Auctions are not winner-take-all; instead, they are constructed to ensure multiple high-quality developers are allotted portions of the total capacity block. OUR STRENGTHS • MARKET LEADERSHIP: We have a first mover advantage from the construction of India's first private utility scale solar photovoltaic power plant in 2009 as well as the implementation of the first megawatt scale rooftop smart city initiative in 2013. Additionally, our strong track record in policy and project development across utility scale, commercial rooftop and micro-grids projects has helped us gain a leading market share in India. • RELIABLE AND SCALABLE:As the first developer and operator of utility scale solar assets in India, we believe that we are a well-established brand that has grown alongside the rapidly growing Indian solar market since 2009. We have proven to be a reliable developer with successful and expedient execution of our development pipeline. We believe we have become one of the largest solar developers and operators in India. • IN-HOUSE EPC AND O&M EXPERTISE:Our in-house EPC capabilities enhance our ability to be flexible with our choice of technology, which allows us to choose high quality equipment while optimizing the combination of total solar project cost and yield. Our in-house O&M capabilities maximize project yield and performance through proprietary system monitoring and adjustments. With the continual innovation in our EPC and O&M capabilities, we are able to offer cost-efficient solutions to all our customers. • LONG TERM COMMUNITY SUPPORT:We partner with local communities when we embark on a new project. We hire from local communities and generally lease land that has few alternative uses, providing local communities with a stream of discretionary cash flow without displacing alternative businesses. As a result we are able to build long term community relationships, which allows us to improve our time of completion. Economic development also drives local power demand. • STRONG MANAGEMENT:Our strong management team has proven execution capabilities globally. Our senior leadership team and board of directors include widely recognized experts in solar energy, energy finance and public policy, with track records of building successful businesses.
