Green Energy Projects Worth ₹48,500 Crore Face Delays
India's plan to boost green energy is facing problems.
Projects worth a lot of money are stuck because of court cases, unclear rules, and delays.
One big issue is a fight about protecting a bird called the Great Indian Bustard, which is stopping some solar projects in Rajasthan.
Another problem is that a tax break for these projects might end soon, which could make them more expensive.
Energy companies want the government to let them keep working while these issues are sorted out.
If these problems aren't fixed, it could slow down the growth of green energy.
₹48,500 crore worth of green energy projects are facing delays.
Ongoing litigation, policy issues, and regulatory roadblocks have stalled several projects.
Uncertainty surrounds the extension of the ISTS charges waiver, set to expire this month.
Around 10 GW of solar projects in Rajasthan are held up due to litigation related to the Great Indian Bustard.
Industry associations have requested conditional approvals and relief from penalties due to delays.
