Solar power projects proposed by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) in Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir are in safe regions, according to a top company official.
Concerns over the safety and viability of these projects were raised after 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were martyred in a recent attack on their convoy. The attack is being seen as the worst of its kind in many years.
“The proposed 7,500 MW grid-connected solar power projects in Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir are in safe zones,” Jatindra Nath Swain, Managing Director of SECI, told BusinessLine.
