Rajasthan has initiated a consultancy tender to expedite the identification and acquisition of land for solar parks across the state. This tender underscores Rajasthan's commitment to expanding its renewable energy capacity and fostering sustainable development through strategic land management for solar projects.

The consultancy tender seeks to engage firms specialising in land acquisition and assessment, tasked with identifying suitable parcels of land for solar park development.

Rajasthan anticipates robust participation from consultancy firms eager to contribute to the state's renewable energy goals. This initiative marks a significant step towards establishing Rajasthan as a hub for solar energy investments, fostering economic growth, and advancing environmental sustainability through renewable energy initiatives.
