Description

Description

The Indian government has decided not to extend the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges waiver for solar and wind energy projects. This decision impacts approximately 30 GW of clean energy projects and investments worth Rs 2 lakh crore. The ISTS waiver previously helped renewable energy developers avoid significant transmission charges across state lines, and its non-extension may increase tariffs and affect the competitiveness of renewable energy compared to traditional sources like coal. The projects affected are spread across states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra.
