Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), which has taken pioneering steps for sustainable energy production, will commission its hydroelectric project on November 6.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will dedicate the power generation facility to the nation at an online function at 11 a.m. on the day. CIAL has the distinction of being the only airport in the world to be run fully on solar power.
The run-of-the-river project across the Iruvazhinji river has an installed capacity of 4.5 MWp and can generate 14 million units of power a year. The power generated at the unit will be fed to the KSEB grid, said a communication from CIAL here on Sunday.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
