The Chhattisgarh cabinet approved the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill, 2026, to prevent forced or deceptive religious conversions. This draft will be introduced in the ongoing budget session. Additionally, the cabinet decided to withdraw 13 cases related to political protests and approved a subsidy program for renewable energy projects.

The Chhattisgarh State Renewable Energy Development Agency will provide Rs 1.5 lakh for solar high-mast plants and Rs 9,000 for domestic biogas plants for specified years. The cabinet also cleared drafts for several bills related to town planning, housing, recruitment, and the abolition of an additional cess on property registration, previously imposed for a now-defunct scheme.
