NEW DELHI:

According to project estimates, 3,250 square metres atop the heritage building will be covered with solar panels, expected to bring down the average annual power bill of ₹2 crore to zero.

The installation is scheduled for completion in 45 days, ahead of the monsoon session and well before the original 60-day timeline, officials aware of the matter said.
