Delhi's 2047 Master Plan Proposes Renewable Energy from Canals, Solar Farms, and Public Infrastructure
Delhi's Master Plan for 2047 proposes generating renewable energy by utilizing existing canals and drains for solar and hydro power. The plan includes expanding agriculture-cum-solar farms on greenfield areas and powering bus depots and metro stations through renewable sources. Government buildings with large rooftops are encouraged to install solar panels under the Delhi Solar Policy, which also considers subsidies and incentives to reduce installation costs. The draft plan, approved by the Delhi Development Authority, awaits central government approval.
