The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is planning to develop solar power plants at about 30 airports across the country.
An MoU for establishment of these projects has been inked between the state-run airports body and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
As per the proposed plan, the authority intends to install 50 MW capacity plants in Phase-I, which will be increased to 150 MW over a period of time. AAI has already identified 30 airports for the purpose. The proposed solar plants will be set up on the surplus land available at these identified airports or on the large rooftops of the airport structures.
