The project involves the construction of a 232-kilometer-long canal, which will link the two rivers and provide water to over 2.5 million people. The project will also generate over 1,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power.
The Maharashtra government has been working on the project for several years, and the approval of the project is a major milestone. The project is expected to have a significant impact on the state's economy and will provide a major boost to the agriculture and industry sectors.
In a related development, the government has also announced plans to construct a gigawatt-scale factory for producing alkaline electrolysers and Balance of Plant (BOP) modules. The factory, which will be built in collaboration with a US-based company, will have an initial 500 megawatt (MW) capacity for electrolyser production, with operations expected to commence in 2026.
Meanwhile, a pilot project in Panaji has successfully reduced non-revenue water from 38% to 15% using internet of things (IoT) technology and smart meters. The project, which is part of the Smart City Mission, involved installing smart meters in 3,094 out of 7,200 homes registered with the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP).
These developments are expected to have a significant impact on the state's economy and will provide a major boost to the agriculture and industry sectors.
