Projects worth Rs 1 lakh crore in the renewable energy sector will soon go on the ground in Uttar Pradesh, state’s Additional Chief Secretary for Renewable Energy Mahesh Gupta said on Friday.
The senior bureaucrat said the state received investment proposals worth about Rs 7.50 lakh crore during the UP Global Investors Summit in Lucknow earlier this year.
He was visiting the 16th edition of the Renewable Energy India Expo, being held along with the first edition of Battery Show India in Greater Noida.
He noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a target of net zero carbon emissions by 2070 for the country, which makes renewable energy an important sector.
