Sakri solar power plant may not be shifted after all
Issue Date: Nov 9, 2011
The Sakri solar power plant in Maharashtra's Dhule district is touted as the world's largest solar power plant till date. Sometime ago there was a proposal to shift the plant to Chandrapur district in Vidarbha region following dispute over the land where the project will be developed. The move triggered protests in the tribal district where people see the 125 MW project as a lifeline that would usher in industrialisation and employment. It now seems that Dhule may get to keep the power plant after all.
