Madhya Pradesh is ramping up its green energy generation, aiming for renewable sources to account for 50 per cent of the state’s total power consumption, a senior official has announced.

“Renewable energy cannot be ignored. Solar power is now a viable option, and we are committed to significantly enhancing green energy generation in Madhya Pradesh, targeting 50 per cent of total power consumption from renewable sources,” said Manu Srivastava, Additional Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam, on Friday.

Speaking at the inaugural session of the 8th GRIHA Regional Conclave in Bhopal, Srivastava noted that the benefits of this transition will become increasingly evident in the coming years.

The conclave, themed ‘Innovate to Act for a Climate-Resilient World’, brought together policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and sustainability practitioners to emphasise the need for innovative, inclusive, and climate-resilient infrastructure in line with India’s long-term climate goals and the Viksit Bharat @2047 vision.

GRIHA-rated projects in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, including the Principal Chief Commissioner Income Tax Office in Bhopal and PM SHRI schools of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and Chhattisgarh, which achieved four- and five-star ratings under the GRIHA Existing Schools variant, were recognised during the event.

“While climate change is discussed globally, translating those discussions into action is crucial. The Madhya Pradesh government has made significant progress in promoting green infrastructure, renewable energy, and sustainable urban development,” said Sanjay Seth, Vice President and CEO of GRIHA Council and Senior Director of the Sustainable Infrastructure Programme at TERI.
