The Uttar Pradesh government has set an ambitious target of producing 22,000 megawatt (MW) through a slew of solar energy projects by 2027, a move that is expected to rake in investments to the tune of Rs 80,000 crore.
The Yogi Adityanath government is planning installations of rooftop solar plants and solar parks to achieve this target.
The micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector will harness 12,000 acres, with industrial units located in notified hubs for solar energy generation.
