JAIPUR: While many areas of Rajasthan are reeling under a power crisis caused by the coal shortage, industrialists in Bhiwadi town of Alwar district have shown the way ahead. Around 150 of them on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway have put up their own solar power system. The power generation – around 5 lakh units every day – is just enough to meet their needs.
The power cost too is much less than the regular supply, which means big savings. Ratan Engineering MD Ram Prakash Garg had set up a 70-kilowatt solar plant in 2018 to overcome the twin-problem of expensive electricity and power cuts. With his confidence growing, he set up a 300 KW plant in 2020 and a 400 KW plant this year.
