<h1>Solar Power Transforms Coal Mine Operations, Cuts Carbon Emissions and Supports Community Development Through Innovative Renewable Energy Project</h1> A coal mine in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district became the state's first solar-powered mining operation. A 9-megawatt solar plant was inaugurated on reclaimed land within the mine premises. The project is expected to reduce approximately 400,000 tonnes of carbon emissions over 25 years. The mine supports local employment, infrastructure development, and provides educational opportunities for over 1,000 children while supplying electricity to millions of consumers.
