India Scenario
Renewable Energy Sector 
India Scenario 
Renewable energy is becoming an increasingly important element of India’s national 
energy mix 
• As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), India’s total renewable potential is ~245 GW, 
however the current installed capacity is only 28 GW 
• Wind energy dominates India’s renewable energy sector. As on 31st March, 2013 wind accounts for ~68 percent 
(i.e. 19.05 GW) of India’s total renewable installed capacity 
• To boost the growth of renewable energy in India, Government of India and many state governments have 
i tii dth i t ll ti f bl th h i li i d fi l 
incentivized the installation of renewable energy through various policies and fiscal measures 
• By 2050, 69 percent of the country’s energy generation will be from renewable energy (Greenpeace vision)

Renewable Energy Sector 
India Scenario: Way forward 
Interplay of favorable risk-return profile at project level coupled with the emerging Indian 
merchant power opportunity creates a positive strategic framework for Indian renewable IPP 
players 
Project Level 
•Shorter time‐to‐commissioning than conventional power projects 
•Fast‐track project approval‐ significantly fewer environmental or CERC clearances required compared to conventional 
power projects 
•Easier to achieve financial closure vis‐à‐vis larger projects, Greater predictability of project execution 
•Plethora of small‐to‐mid size units in “locally constrained” entrepreneurial setups: ideal for consolidation play 
•Bidding route not mandatory for new capacities 
Financial Perspective 
•Low working capital requirements, particularly for small hydro and wind projects 
•Ability to boost returns through emissions trading options 
•Regulatory support, including preferential tariffs 
•Fiscal incentives (subsidies, grants and tax incentives) available in some States 
Sustainability 
•Lower fuel sourcing and pricing risk compared to conventional power projects 
•Opportunity to de‐risk asset portfolio through geographic and technological options‐ exposure to multiple markets, 
regulatory regimes, technologies and climatic conditions 
•Lower social friction concerns by promoting ‘inclusive growth’ 
•Broadening fuel base complements efforts to decouple India’s economic growth from emissions growth and helps to 
achieve energy security 
Fund Requirement 
• Consolidated for renewable fund requirement estimated by MNRE (Strategic plan new and energy sector for the period 
13 
2011 ‐17 is: 
‐ For grid connected renewable energy technologies – USD 2.6 billion 
‐ For off grid renewable energy programs – USD 2.7 billion

Gujarat Scenario: India’s first canal top Solar power Project 
Gujarat has initiated the world’s first canal-based solar power project on Narmada branch 
canal new Chandrasan village of Mehsana district 
Energy generated from this pilot project will be 
directly fed into the local electricity grid and utilized 
by nearby towns and villages 
Innovative Ideas 
• Cover the canal with Solar Panels to 
• Save Land @ 5 acre per MW 
• Minimize evaporation from canal (9 liters 
Technical Detail 
• Projected energy production: 1.6 million units/year/MW 
million water saving per MW per year) 
• Produce eco‐friendly power 
• Shadowing effect of panel results in reduced 
photosynthesis and less algae growth leading to 
• Irradiation: 4.6 – 6.4 kWh/m2 
• Installed capacity: 1 MWp 
• Technology: polycrystalline solar modules, 280 Wp 
• Number of modules: 3616

below: 
0 0.95 95 MW biogas based power project at Sayaji Industries Industries, Kathwada Kathwada, 2009 2009‐10 
• Sayaji Industries, Kathwada is dealing with maize starch products. As a result of maize corn milling, grinding and 
processing, about 14000 nm3 biogas is generated. Earlier biogas was being used in the coal fired boilers. Under the 
MNRE programme of energy recovery from industrial & commercial wastes, the biogas based power project was 
taken up up. The project commissioned in April April'2009 and has been running successfully at about 80% PLF since 
commissioning.
