SECI and NHAI Partner to Power Delhi-Dehradun Highway with Solar Energy
New Delhi. The Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have signed a crucial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the installation of dedicated solar power plants. These plants will be strategically placed along the elevated section of Package-1 (the Delhi portion) of the transformative Delhi–Saharanpur–Dehradun Highway (NH-709B). The agreement is part of India's major strides in promoting sustainable infrastructure and achieving its ambitious Net Zero target by 2070.
SECI and NHAI: Harnessing Solar for Highway Infrastructure
Minister of State for Corporate Affairs and Road Transport & Highways, Harsh Malhotra, presided over the signing ceremony. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ (MoRTH) Secretary V Umashankar and SECI’s Director Sanjay Sharma, alongside other senior officials, also attended the event.
The pioneering partnership fundamentally aims to harness solar energy directly for powering vital highway infrastructure. The integration significantly reduces carbon emissions and actively promotes clean energy use in large-scale road development projects. This initiative not only generates essential renewable energy but simultaneously serves as an immediate benchmark for sustainable infrastructure planning and implementation across the country.
