The North Eastern Tea Association (NETA) on Friday welcomed the recent notification of the Assam government’s policy which will promote renewable energy and its integration with the grid.
The ‘Assam Integrated Clean Energy Policy’, which was notified on February 24, provides incentives for tea, coffee, and rubber consumers of the state government’s power distribution company (APDCL).
“We are extremely happy with this new policy. Tea industry can reap benefits from this policy. We are grateful to Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma for the specific inclusion of tea category in the policy,” NETA Advisor Bidyananda Barkakoty said.
