As Surat Municipal Corporation embarks on this endeavour, it sets a precedent for other urban centres to explore and adopt renewable energy solutions. The commitment to scaling up solar power aligns with global initiatives to combat climate change and underscores the city's role in fostering a cleaner and more sustainable future.
