Jharkhand Plans $256 Billion Transition from Coal to Clean Industry by 2070

Jharkhand Plans $256 Billion Transition from Coal to Clean Industry by 2070

Jharkhand, a state that earns a lot of money from coal, is planning a big change.

They want to stop relying so much on coal and start focusing on new, clean industries like making electric car parts and using solar power.

This is because the world is trying to use less coal to help the environment.

This big change will cost a lot of money, about $256 billion, over many years until 2070.

Some of this money will help coal miners find new jobs or get support.

Some will be used to close old coal mines safely and fix the land.

The state hopes that by building new green industries, they can make new money and jobs, just like they did with coal, but in a cleaner way.

They will need help from the government, private companies, and other countries to pay for it all.

If they do this well, it could be a great example for other places in India.
