The Chief Minister also inaugurated and inspected Rajasthan's exhibition stalls. Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Energy Hiralal Nagar and Chief Secretary V. Srinivas were also present.
Rajasthan ranks first in renewable energy generation and installed solar capacity
The Chief Minister said Rajasthan ranked first in the country in renewable energy generation and installed solar power capacity. The state government's target is to develop approximately 125 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Special emphasis is being placed on solar energy, wind power, hybrid projects and energy storage to achieve this goal.
