Union Minister Kishan Reddy Writes to Telangana CM on Tie-Up for Renewable Energy Projects

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has written to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, stating that Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) under the Ministry of Coal are ready to partner with the state government to implement key renewable energy projects.

In his letter on July 16, Kishan Reddy said that PSUs such as Coal India Limited (CIL) and Neyveli Lignite Corporation India Limited (NLCIL) are prepared to collaborate with Telangana on projects including solar and wind power plants, Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs), and battery energy storage systems (BESS), which are expected to attract investments of nearly ₹10,000 crore over the next three years.

These projects would play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality, and ensuring sustainable natural resource management, the letter said.

They also promise significant socio-economic benefits, such as job creation, skill development, enhanced energy security, affordable power access, inclusive growth, and an improved quality of life, it added.

"To bring these projects to fruition, I request that a structured and seamless coordination mechanism be established between the state government and the CPSUs. Needless to say, your active and timely engagement will be instrumental in ensuring the swift and effective implementation of these projects," the union minister further said.

Given Telangana’s considerable renewable energy potential and the central government's strong commitment to green growth, this collaboration presents an opportunity to accelerate the state’s economic development and position it as a key player in India’s sustainable energy transition.

The developmental synergy between the central and state governments is critical to achieving long-term national priorities such as energy security and climate resilience, while also fostering economic well-being and growth, Kishan Reddy noted.
