Karnataka govt’s solar dreams eclipsed by BWSSB’s fund crunch

Though the government on Tuesday unveiled the proposal to set up two solar parks on the BWSSB’s land in Hesaraghatta and TG Halli, questions remain over the project’s financial viability. BWSSB sources pointed out that the proposal is still in its early stages, while raising doubts whether the project would take off since they are not in a position to fund.

“While the idea is that the project will help protect the land and ease the board’s burden, we are financially not in a position to fund such a project,” admitted a senior official.
