11 January 2025: Rajasthan is now ready to establish itself as forms an important hub for renewable energy in India with the "Rising Rajasthan" plan dynamism centering on investments worth Rs26 lakh crore for the next 35 years via 10640 companies.
Now the fact is that the proposal for this entire investment is only from the energy sector. Rising Rajasthan Global Summit has signed MOUs─ Memorandum of Understanding, for this investment. In such an instance, it is believed that Rajasthan will also be called the hub of renewable energy in the distant future.
Edges of renewable energy investment
This groundbreaking project mirrors the state's commitment to foster renewable power extraction, drive economic upswing, and partake in India's green energy objectives. A massive investment of Rs26 lakh crore has been intended, pointing up to renewable energy ventures such as solar, wind, and green hydrogen technologies. It represents one of the largest state-level renewable energy initiatives in India.
Rajasthan is acclaimed for its immense arid zones and excessive solar exposure, which makes it ideal for solar energy projects, hence renewable energy is getting the Government's attention.
The investment will resistance to spoilage last for 35 years, demonstrating an ongoing attempt to revolutionize Rajasthan toward a worldwide renewable energy integration. This eternal purpose conforms with India's covenant to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.
This initiative is apt to yield prominent occupation opportunities including jobs in project construction, operation, and ancillary industries which will have an economic and employment impact. This would benefit local fiscal matters in rural areas as a consequence of expanded infrastructure and investment.
Rajasthan aspires to become the head of green hydrogen capture and storage, exploiting renewable energy to produce this carbon-neutral fuel that is vital to decarburizing industries such as steel and transportation. The program upholds India's renewable energy ambitions, including achieving 500 gigawatts of non-fossil fuel potential by 2030.
MOUs for other industries’ investment tier:
Having said that, the employment opportunities in this state are much less, which is 20% less, compared to other industries. Whereas MOU worth Rs 9 lakh crore has been reported for other industries and after energy, the manufacturing sector industries have the highest MOU of Rs. 3.28 lakh crore…..
Tourism, the state's largest sector, stood at 5th position in getting investment with a contribution of Rs. 73813 crore. Rs 48576.95 crore will be mobilized for education to 569 institutions for the school and coaching sector. An investment of Rs 37003.16 crore was proposed by 389 investors during the MOU in the medical and health sector and 55176.46 crore for agriculture.
The state government is on the cusp of collaborating with private lenders, both domestic and international, for the enforcement of these projects. Rajasthan also has the potential to win over decisive foreign direct investment (FDI) in renewable energy.
