The report highlighted that RBI's explicit recognition and prioritization of renewable energy under PSL norms have led to a higher share of non-conventional energy (NCE) credit within the overall energy credit.

The report, based on a dummy variable linear regression model for FY10-24, indicates that policy interventions in the sector have encouraged increased credit flow to non-conventional energy projects.
