Steel plants in Punjab, which constitute a large small and medium enterprise (SME) cluster in northern India, have begun working for a cleaner and greener environment.

A few industrialists from the region have set up wind turbine projects to provide cleaner energy, and others are considering following their example.

There is a need to use alternative source of energy like gobar gas, in the backdrop of growing demand for electricity and cooking gas, said Zilla Panchayat CEO A B Ibrahim.
