NEW DELHI: State-run Coal India will set up a solar power project with a capacity of 1,190 mega watt in Rajasthan as part of its carbon mitigation plan, the coal ministry said on Thursday.
CIL and Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam signed an MoU for the project, which will be built in phases at the upcoming ultra-mega solar park in the state approved by the renewable energy ministry.
The company had last year floated two subsidiaries for manufacturing solar modules and building renewable energy projects. It had also projected an investment of Rs 5,650 crore in renewables to power its mining operations.
