Karnataka to bring out land use policy for wind energy

The Karnataka government would soon bring out an exclusive land policy for allotment of land for wind energy projects. The policy will be modelled on Gujarat’s policy and will be announced in the next two to three months, a top government official said.

There are several wind energy developers waiting for the allotment of land in the state. Many projects in the Western Ghats area are waiting to be completed. The government is taking some strict measures to retain only the serious players in the business of installing wind power projects.
