  "summary": "The Maharashtra State government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Mahagenco and the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) to utilise 6.17 crore metric tonnes of fly ash for major infrastructure projects in eastern Maharashtra. The agreement, signed in the presence of Minister of State for Energy Meghna Sakore-Bordikar, will see fly ash generated at Mahagenco’s Koradi, Khaparkheda, and Chandrapur thermal power stations used for four projects, including expressways and a mineral transportation corridor. The Nagpur-Gondia expressway will require 2.09 crore metric tonnes of fly ash, while other projects will need 1.14 crore, 2.79 crore, and 15 lakh metric tonnes respectively. The MoU is valid until March 31, 2032, or completion of the relevant projects, whichever comes first, and may be extended with approval from the competent authorities.",
