Delhi Metro Runs on Madhya Pradesh Solar: CM Yadav's Big Reveal

Madhya Pradesh is lighting up not just its own cities but the national capital too. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav revealed that Delhi Metro trains are now running on power produced in the state, courtesy of cutting-edge solar projects. The highlight was the launch of the groundbreaking 60MW Jalud Solar Power Plant in Khargone's Jalud village, costing Rs 271 crore. This pioneering facility, India's first PPP solar plant funded via green bonds, empowers public participation. Investors can buy 10 bonds of Rs 1 lakh each, reaping 8% returns for 20 years with liquidity options. Yadav praised the central government's full support, calling it a national milestone creditable to MP. During his visit, the CM inspected operations and addressed gatherings. He pointed out the plant's twin advantages: cheap electricity for Indore and reduced carbon footprint. 'Green energy innovation is the future of power generation,' he stated. From blackouts to bounty, MP's energy journey is inspiring. Yadav noted the state now boasts the lowest tariffs nationwide. A dedicated film showcased green energy strides, with PM Modi's 2023 groundbreaking adding prestige. Financially savvy, the project breaks even in a decade, promising sustained gains. As Yadav put it, 'MP is changing fast.' This development not only powers urban mobility in Delhi but also democratizes green investments, blending profitability with planet-friendly progress.
