The project is expected to attract significant investment and create numerous job opportunities within the state.

The chosen developer will be responsible for identifying a suitable site within the Karbi Anglong district of Assam, a region with abundant sunshine and ample land availability. The project will utilize cutting-edge solar PV technology to harness the sun's power and generate clean electricity for the state.
