The State House Investors Protection Unit (SHIPU) hosted a high-level courtesy call from representatives of Patel Infrastructure Limited, a renowned Indian infrastructure development company, on a mission to explore investment opportunities in Uganda’s green energy sector. The delegation was led by Mr. Krunal Arvindbhai Patel, Director Strategic Business Development, and Mr. Nitin R. Patel, Director Finance, accompanied by Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Director General of the Indian Business Forum Uganda. During their visit, the team expressed strong interest in investing in a 15 MW solar power plant integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)—a pioneering initiative set to become the largest of its kind in East Africa. Discussions focused on harnessing green energy to power Uganda’s manufacturing and industrial sectors, aligning with the country’s broader agenda for socio-economic transformation. The delegation emphasized that sustainable energy solutions are crucial to fostering long-term growth, job creation, and industrialization. Col. Edith Nakalema, Head of SHIPU, warmly welcomed the delegation and reiterated the government’s dedication to promoting and safeguarding investment. She assured the investors of SHIPU’s unwavering support in coordinating with relevant government institutions to ensure a smooth and successful investment journey. “Uganda is open for business,” Col. Nakalema stated, “and SHIPU is here to guarantee a secure and enabling environment for serious investors committed to our country’s development.” With a history dating back to 1972, Patel Infrastructure Limited brings decades of experience in executing major infrastructure projects including roads, highways, buildings, and bridges using cutting-edge technology and a skilled workforce. This investment prospect marks a significant step toward deepening Uganda-India economic cooperation and advancing Uganda’s energy transition agenda.
