The Chief Minister stated that the project's commissioning has already been delayed and that the officials must put out extraordinary effort to finish the project by the deadline. He will personally visit the project site on June 15 of this year to assess the progress, and the state government will provide full cooperation for finishing this project.

Sukhu stated that in accordance with the budget announcement, the state government would offer prospective entrepreneurs from the state a 40% financial assistance for the establishment of solar power projects of 100 kW to 2 MW capacity and directed the officers to bring out the scheme's blueprint so that interested youth could take advantage of the scheme.

The officers were also given a directive by the Chief Minister to locate land in the Lahaul-Spiti district suitable for the construction of solar power plants.
