Sector Analysis: Momentum in Capacity and Market Activity
India’s renewable energy ecosystem remains vibrant, backed by steady policy support and strong investor sentiment.
- Tender Momentum: The issuance of 3,628 MW of tenders in a single month underlines the government’s drive to accelerate project implementation and diversify generation sources.
- Solar Surge: With 25 GW of new solar capacity added in just eight months, India is on track for a record-setting year.
- Investor Confidence: The inflow of USD 2.2 billion in September alone reflects continued interest from both domestic and global players.
Project Spotlight
- Deendayal Port Authority’s 1,000 MW Solar Project (Gujarat):
A landmark initiative integrating port infrastructure with renewable power generation, supporting decarbonization in logistics. - SJVN’s 600 MW Wind Project:
Strengthens India’s inter-state transmission system (ISTS), enhancing grid stability through renewable diversification. - Coal India Limited’s 3,000 MW Solar Plan:
A significant shift from conventional energy to renewables, with multi-state implementation indicating long-term sustainability goals. - Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL) 600 MW Solar-plus-Storage:
The Madhya Pradesh tender awarded to ACME Solar Holdings (300 MW) and Ceigall India (300 MW) highlights the growing importance of battery storage for grid reliability.
Policy and Pricing Stability
September saw 34 key policy notifications—a mix of central and state-level reforms—supporting faster project clearances and smoother land acquisition processes. Despite high demand, domestic module prices for Mono PERC technology remained stable, offering predictability for project developers.
Conclusion
India’s renewable energy drive shows no signs of slowing down. With a total installed capacity of 242.6 GW and continuous tendering activity, the country remains one of the world’s fastest-growing clean energy markets. The blend of solar, wind, and hybrid projects—coupled with strong investor backing and regulatory momentum—positions India firmly on track toward achieving its 500 GW non-fossil capacity goal by 2030.
