Deputy Minister Malla Bhatti Vikramark urged the central government to allocate 4,000 MW solar power plants with a capacity ranging from 500 kW to 2 MW along Telangane under the PM-KUSUM and, as agreed.
A representative of the main minister expressed concern about the reports that the state allocation was revised and reduced to 1,000 MW after the EOI Ministry (an expression of interest in renewable energy). Reducing the agreed allocation would seriously affect the objectives of the state’s renewable energy.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bhatti Vikramarka called on the Minister of Trade Unions for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi in Nový Delhi and urged the center to re -evaluate steps to reduce the allocation with regard to the success of Telangan in the sector of renewable energy. He asked the Ministry of the Union to assign one solar pump in Lakhu within the B-KUSUM scheme of TELANGANA PM-KUSUM as a permanent solution to problems facing the agricultural sector in the state. The detailed report of the project in this regard has already been submitted to the center through TSREDCO and the state was prepared to contribute by its share in the resources required in this direction.
He emphasized challenges, such as restrictions under the Laws of Forest Laws on the Laying of Electrical Lines in the Regional Agricultural Areas, looking for sympathetic support for the center to overcome them. Mr. Bhatti Vikramarka asked the center to allocate two Lakh pumps of telangana under the component of the PM-KUSUM scheme, which explained that the lakhs of pumps are currently used to secure agricultural needs in the state. The support of the center was necessary to reduce the load of the conventional electricity sector.
He informed the Minister of the Union that Telangana had achieved the highest annual growth rate in agriculture and was created as a rice bowl of the country because of its proactive policy and impressive food production. The Minister’s briefing on the flagships, such as Rythu Bharosa, was looking for further support from the Union government, allowing the state to achieve greater performances in agriculture.
