While I appreciate the renewable energy push, I hope the land acquisition process was fair and farmers were properly compensated. We've seen too many cases where big projects exploit villagers. Transparency is key!

Great initiative! But will this actually reduce our electricity bills? Every time they announce new projects, our tariffs keep increasing. Need more clarity on how this benefits common people's pockets 💸

Hope they maintain quality standards. Many solar projects in India fail after few years due to poor maintenance. 25 years is a long commitment - the company better have solid plans for upkeep.
