The wind energy sector in India is witnessing significant growth, led by states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat. Supportive government policies, technological advancements in the sector, and integrated renewable energy strategies are driving the momentum of growth. Ajay Devraj shares his industry experience in talks with EPR. Let us know more from him.
How can India sustain renewable energy growth across states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat beyond current capacity addition strategies?
Out of the 4.15 GW added in 2024-25, 3.4 GW pertains to just three states — Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. The renewable energy growth in Karnataka can be attributed to the Karnataka Renewable Energy Policy 2022-27, the enhanced financial viability for developers through the KERC approved levelised wind energy tariff of ₹3.34 per unit for projects commissioned between April 2024 and March 2026, and setting in motion the streamlining of land acquisition processes and developing new transmission protocols to address challenges in power evacuation infrastructure.
