The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has taken significant steps to promote green energy across Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) by installing grid-connected rooftop solar panels, along with initiatives in off-grid solar, fuel cells, biogas plants, solar water heaters, and solar street lighting.

In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri Nityanand Rai provided details of solar power installations across CAPFs:

  • Assam Rifles (AR): 2,180 KW across 44 locations
  • Border Security Force (BSF): 2,895 KW across 8 locations
  • Central Industrial Security Force (CISF): 1,990 KW across 4 locations
  • Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF): 16,348 KW across 42 locations
  • Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP): 4,092 KW across 13 locations
  • National Security Guard (NSG): 1,565 KW across 5 locations
  • Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB): 778 KW across 3 locations

These initiatives reflect MHA’s commitment to sustainability and renewable energy adoption in government infrastructure, reducing carbon footprints while supporting India’s broader clean energy objectives.
