India Installed Wind Power Capacity: Government Initiatives to Promote Wind Energy in India
The Central Government has introduced several policies to support wind energy projects across the country. Major initiatives include:
- Green Energy Corridor for better power transmission
- Transmission infrastructure planning up to 2030
- 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through the automatic route
- Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) and Renewable Consumption Obligation (RCO) targets till 2029-30
- Viability Gap Funding (VGF) for offshore wind projects
- Green Energy Open Access Rules
- National Repowering and Life Extension Policy for Wind Power Projects, 2023
- Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM) for renewable energy trading
- Faster payments to renewable energy developers through Letter of Credit (LC) or advance payment system
These policies aim to increase renewable energy production, attract investments, and improve India’s clean energy infrastructure.
