He also instructed that the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for the 500 MW wind power plants, which are to be set up across five districts of the state, must be completed by the end of next month.
He advised the use of advanced technology to enhance the feasibility and appeal of this innovative project.

In addition, he held detailed discussions on establishing an 800 MW thermal project as part of this collaboration and advised that steps be taken to present this proposal in the cabinet at the earliest.
The Deputy CM also closely reviewed the progress of other initiatives like the Green Hydrogen Plant and Battery Storage System proposed by SCCL.
