Analysis

A 430 MW solar electricity project in India with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal events, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, an unquantified 0% leakage deduction, and a notable gap between the lifetime PDD estimate and the single-period monitoring figure. Multiple cross-document contradictions (baseline method, FPIC status, safeguards) reduce confidence in the data record, though the verification report is recent and CARs were resolved.
