Sahara India Power Corporation Limited (SIPCL), a subsidiary of Sahara India Group, has joined hands with Safesky Software of Israel to promote and manufacture advanced solar power and other technologies for Indian users. As a step towards this, Safesky Software along with SIPCL will set up a demonstrative solar power plant of 5 mw at a Sahara location in India. Safesky has advanced technologies in solar power, medical, communication and water, which will be available to Sahara India Power Corporation for marketing and manufacturing in India.
