Maharashtra would now have a solar policy which would introduce the concept of solar power parks, encouraging private solar power generation in the State. The policy would also suggest making solar geysers mandatory for buildings and solar panels on all the government establishments in the State. The Minister for Power Chandrashekhar Bavankule said that the State government would unveil the first-ever solar policy of the State which would provide impetus to alternative energy generation initiatives in addition to providing solar pumps for agricultural purposes. He said that the State has embarked upon providing five lakh solar pumps for agricultural purpose so that it would save massive amounts being provided for the power subsidy to farmers. Bavankule added that the State would be making it mandatory to install solar panels in government buildings and also introduce installation of solar LEDs for streetlights. He also informed that the solar policy would encourage use of alternative energy devices and promote use of solar energy.
