Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Monday said power companies in the state have a debt of about 90,000 crore and a large portion of the budget is going towards repaying this debt.
He said the state has immense natural resources in the field of renewable energy.
“With proper policy formulation and implementation in this area, the Energy Department can generate resources and employment on a large scale for the development and bright future of the state,” Sharma said.
He said self-reliance in energy production is very important to provide relief to the common people through various public welfare schemes.
