Description
Description | India's renewable power projects awarded but unable to come online have more than doubled over nine months due to unfinished transmission lines and legal and regulatory delays. Over 50 gigawatts of renewable projects have won tenders but are yet to sign power purchase agreements with buyers, causing significant stranded capacity. Delays in critical transmission infrastructure, especially in Rajasthan and Gujarat, and prolonged legal disputes over land and environmental permissions have contributed to the bottlenecks. The government is fast-tracking interstate transmission lines and increasing compensation for landowners to facilitate construction. |
