India Plans Prohibited Zones for Windmills Near Border Areas

The Indian government is planning to create special zones where wind energy projects cannot be built, especially near the country's borders.

This is to address worries from the Defence Ministry about how these projects might affect military operations and surveillance.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) wants clear rules to make sure investors feel safe and the projects are secure.

Currently, projects need permission from the Defence Ministry, and the government is working on making this process faster and clearer.

This move aims to balance the need for renewable energy with national security.
