Punjab New and Renewable Energy Minister Bikram Singh Majithia announced the inauguration of 31.5 MW solar power plant, set up with an investment of Rs 200 crore at Mirpur Kalan village, Mansa. As polls for Punjab election 2017 are just around the corner, doing such things will only help parties make their point.

One of the state’s biggest investments, this plant is testimony to development in Punjab and has outranked the development of any state in terms of renewable energy usage.


“This is the largest Power Plant located at single location in the state in 173 acres of land,” Majithia said. The plant had been installed by M/s Bhanu Energy Infrastructure and Power Limited and Bhanu Energy Industrial Development Limited.


Majithia said that a humble beginning few years ago in renewable energy sector has now became a movement across nation. He also stated that state was taking the concept of ‘clean and green’ living to every house by encouraging people to produce their own power through rooftop projects.
