A tea estate located on the outskirts of Alipurduar town is slashing its power bills, sunny side up.
Majherdabri, which is known for innovations like value-added teas, has introduced a solar power facility, a first of its kind move by a tea estate in the region.
The tea estate is saving around Rs 6 lakh a month.
According to garden sources, two years back, they took the task to install solar panels and ancillary machinery and invested around Rs 2 crore. The solar power facility is running at full capacity for the past four months now.
