Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu announced on October 12 that the Telangana government will install solar pump sets at no cost for borewells across the state. This initiative aims to provide additional income for farmers by eliminating electricity costs and allowing them to sell surplus power generated from solar panels back to the grid. The project will initially be launched in select villages, focusing on rooftop solar installations.
During the inauguration of a 2.5 MW biomass power plant at the oil palm factory in Ashwaraopet, Bhatti expressed optimism about the new energy policy being implemented by the Telangana government. He highlighted the government’s commitment to renewable energy, noting that plans are underway to establish 20,000 MW of green energy capacity in Telangana. The government will also cover crop insurance premiums and allocate Rs 73,000 crores in the state budget for the agricultural sector.
