Mr. Balakrishnan added that, with the global shift towards carbon neutrality, and with the initiative from the Government of Telangana by its Renewable Energy Policy, the company, supported by a team of NRI investors and experienced technocrats have come forward to put up this investment in these CBG projects, which is the focus area for the state Government in the current period.
