Reliance Jio project among major infra works reviewed at high-level meet

New Delhi, Feb 15 (UNI) Reliance Jio's 5G/4G expansion work and transmission projects of the Khavda Renewable Energy Park are among the mega infrastructure projects of Gujarat and Rajasthan reviewed by a high-level committee chaired by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Secretary Amardeep Bhatia, an official statement said on Saturday.

The meeting, attended by senior officials from Central Ministries, State Governments, and Project Proponents, focused on expediting issue resolution through enhanced inter-ministerial and state coordination facilitated by the Project Monitoring Group (PMG).

The official release from Ministry of Commerce and Industry said that 21 issues across 14 significant projects were reviewed, including four projects under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, with a total cost of all projects exceeding Rs 13,162 crore.

"Additionally, seven issues pertaining to one private project, valued at Rs 600 crore, were also reviewed," it said.

The official statement noted that Reliance Jio's 5G/4G expansion project offers advantages such as faster speeds, low latency, and wider coverage—facilitating ultra-high-definition streaming and the advancement of applications like IoT and smart city solutions.

During the high level meeting chaired by DPIIT Secretary, emphasis was placed on the transmission projects of the Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat.

"Once operational, the park is expected to generate approximately 81 billion units of clean electricity annually, significantly reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, it is projected to create approximately 15,200 green jobs across various sectors, including construction, engineering, operations, and maintenance," the official statement said.
