Haryana Energy Minister Anil Vij proposes solar panels on government buildings and incentives for electric vehicles ahead of the state budget.
Haryana’s Energy, Transport, and Labour Minister Anil Vij stated that the state government’s practice of seeking suggestions from all stakeholders before finalizing the budget reflects a robust and healthy democratic process. This approach ensures that the interests of all sections of society are considered in the budget. In line with this, Vij proposed allocating funds for installing solar panels on government buildings across Haryana and offering incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles.
Speaking to the media after a pre-budget consultation meeting in Panchkula, Vij mentioned that Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly shared suggestions on various topics, all of which are being seriously considered.
The Energy Minister said his proposals include special budgetary provisions for installing solar panels on rooftops of government offices, schools, colleges, stadiums, and even private institutions and gaushalas. He noted that this initiative would promote clean energy, lower electricity costs, and move Haryana forward on the path of green energy.

In addition, Vij suggested providing concessions for electric vehicle purchases to encourage citizens to adopt environmentally friendly transportation. He also recommended setting up modern charging stations along national and state highways, equipped with amenities like refreshments, clean restrooms, and proper resting areas to ensure convenience for traveling families.
Vij added that the Chief Minister has been personally interacting with citizens across Haryana to gather budget-related suggestions, and in the same vein, all MPs and MLAs were invited to the consultation. However, he pointed out that no opposition representatives attended the meeting, perhaps indicating they had no suggestions to offer, unlike in previous years when opposition members actively participated.
