With the recent budget’s emphasis on renewable energy and initiative of setting aside Rs 500 crore for ultra-mega solar power projects in many states, the future of solar power is very promising. This was the first time we had bid for any government tender and we are honored to bag the project of SECI for execution of solar rooftop projects in Rajasthan.
