Masali, located in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district, is India’s first border solar village. Situated just 40 kilometres from the Pakistan border, the village has achieved the remarkable feat of generating 100% of its electricity through solar power. The project involved installing solar panels on 199 rooftops, making it a key part of India’s renewable energy and rural electrification efforts. The initiative is aligned with the larger Border Development Project, which aims to provide sustainable energy to multiple border villages across the country.
