Wind industry seeks policy parity, infra support to meet energy goals

As the Union Budget approaches, industry leaders hope for measures that will align policy, infrastructure, and investment to further strengthen India's renewable energy sector

India’s wind energy sector is calling for budgetary support to address transmission infrastructure needs and ensure the country meets its renewable energy target of 500 gigawatt (Gw) by 2030. Industry leaders believe focused investments and balanced policy measures could further boost growth in the sector, which is already gaining momentum.

 

“We need to increase investment in electrical infrastructure to ensure we meet the target of 500 Gw of renewable power by 2030. We will need a robust grid with enough evacuation infrastructure for 500 Gw. Otherwise, it could become a bottleneck in achieving our targets,” said Amit Kansal, chief executive
