The Chhattisgarh government announced a Rs 5.6 lakh‑crore plan to boost renewable power generation to 15,000 MW by 2030.
Chhattisgarh's state administration unveiled a massive investment programme worth Rs 5.6 lakh crore aimed at expanding the region's renewable‑energy capacity to 15,000 MW by the end of 2030. The proposal, presented by the chief minister's office, outlines a long‑term strategy to shift the state's power mix toward cleaner sources.
The initiative comes as India accelerates its national clean‑energy goals, and the central government encourages states to scale up solar, wind and hybrid projects. While the current renewable base in Chhattisgarh remains modest, officials say the new funding will enable large‑scale solar farms, wind parks and possibly green hydrogen hubs.
Funding is expected to flow from a combination of state budget allocations, private sector participation and central‑government incentives. The plan also highlights potential job creation in construction, operations and ancillary services, positioning the state as a future hub for green infrastructure.
Details on project tendering, timelines and partner selection will be released in the coming weeks, as the government seeks to attract domestic and foreign investors to meet the ambitious target.
