A 21-kilometer #solar cycle track in Hyderabad, #India, generates electricity while providing shade for cyclists.

Inspired by a similar project in South Korea, it cost $12 million and has a 16 MW solar roof. The power generated supports local infrastructure and saves energy costs.

The project promotes #cycling and offers a potential model for sustainable #UrbanDevelopment, with the possibility of replication in other Indian cities.
