Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday met three Union Ministers here and sought the Centre’s support for the State’s renewable energy initiatives, a defence manufacturing hub proposal and a major water transfer project.
In his meeting with Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Prahlad Joshi, Naidu requested the allocation of rooftop solar capacity under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and urged expediting approval of the proposals submitted by state electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) in January.
“Had a fruitful meeting… With the Centre’s support, we will reduce energy costs, empower our people, and lead India’s clean energy transition,” Naidu, a key ally of the NDA, said in a post on X after meeting Joshi.
