Coal India Limited and SECI signs two agreements for 200MW solar power project in MP

Coal India limited and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) have signed two agreements for implementation of 200 MW solar power project in Madhya Pradesh.

The 100 MW solar power generated by the plant will be utilized by Northern Coalfields limited and another 100 MW will be used by South Eastern Coalfields Limited, each at an estimated cost of Rs. 650 crore.

This is considered as significant move of the Coal India after it forayed in the renewable energy domain.  Last year in October CIL announced its plans to develop 1GW of solar projects across India.
