The New Indian Express
|February 07, 2026
AS India strives to achieve a net-zero economy by 2070 and eyes 500 gigawatt (GW) non-fossil electricity by 2030, nearly 9,000 hectare mining land in Odisha can be repurposed for production of renewable energy (RE) and development of green industries at scale to give push to these goals, a new report has suggested.
What is more significant about these land parcels is that they can be used for low-carbon development initiatives while avoiding the challenges of conventional land acquisition, it stated.
