Rajasthan renewable energy curtailment persists, over 4 GW capacity at risk

Renewable energy developers in Rajasthan continue to face severe power curtailment risks, with more than 4 GW of commissioned capacity seeing near-total shutdown during peak solar hours despite the recent commissioning of the 765 kV Khetri-Narela transmission line. The issue was reviewed at a stakeholder meeting on December 15, 2025 which flagged that renewable projects operating under the Temporary General Network Access (T-GNA) mechanism are facing almost 100 per cent curtailment between 11 am and 2 pm, according to people briefed on the meeting. Curtailments have intensified since the Khetri-Narela line was operationalised on December 12, contrary to expectations that the line would ease congestion. Grid India informed the meeting that prior to the commissioning of the Khetri-Narela line, around 3.8 GW of renewable capacity was permitted injection during peak solar hours under T-GNA. Following the line's commissioning, connectivity approvals for about 4.8 GW of renewable capacit

Long-term policy support key to meeting India's energy goals: Experts

Long-term policy frameworks, particularly for hybrid renewables energy, along with a thrust on adoption of technologies and incentive-driven manufacturing, will help the country meet its renewable energy goals, experts said. Experts also believed decarbonisation will continue to be a priority for the industry. Sharing his views, Piyush Goyal, CEO and Co-founder of Volks Energie, said there are certain areas which are essential not only for meeting climate commitments, but also for powering India's industrial growth, enhancing energy security, and ensuring affordable electricity for consumers. "Accelerating grid upgrades and storage adoption must be treated as national priorities as India's future energy mix depends on both. Further, incentivising domestic manufacturing of inverters, batteries, and critical components will reduce import dependencies and build supply-chain resilience," Goyal said. Manish Dabkara, CMD of carbon credits firm EKI Energy Services, said emerging ...
