The Government of Maharashtra and JSW Energy Ltd have signed two MoUs to set up two green projects worth INR 35,500 crore (USD 4.8 billion) to generate 6,500 MW clean energy in northern and western Maharashtra. This would comprise a 1,500 MW hydro-based power project and a 5,000 MW wind power project spread across 1,870 hectares, to be set up within the next 18 months. The investment inflow from JSW will account for a considerable increase in renewable energy sources within Maharashtra by proving cheap and green renewable power round the clock.
