UP gets in-principle nod for biggest solar park

The Union new and renewable energy ministry has given its in-principle approval for Uttar Pradesh’s first ultra-mega 1,200MW solar park in Bundelkhand region’s Jalaun district.

Officials said the state’s New and Renewable Development Agency (NEDA) received the approval letter on Monday. “…now necessary action will be taken to set up the park at the earliest,” said NEDA director Bhawani Singh Khagrawat.

The Centre has asked the Bundelkhand Saur Urja Ltd, the park developer, to submit a detailed project report at the earliest.
