The Centre IS thinking big as far as tapping the solar potential of Jammu and Kashmir’s Ladakh region is concerned. On its agenda is the creation of 23-GW solar capacity in the region, entailing investments of `45,000 crores. With a single tender for the first phase of the ‘ultra mega’ solar project having been floated, a pre-bid meeting will be held on February 18 for the installation of 2,500-MW capacity in the Kargil region and 5,000 MW in the Leh district.
