NEW DELHI: India's push to tighten power grid discipline is colliding with its clean energy ambitions as tougher rules for solar and wind projects alarm investors, who warn the requirements could slash returns and impede investment needed for the energy transition.
The most-feared regulations, due to take effect in April 2027, sharply increase penalties when renewable power producers fail to deliver electricity matching their commitments to the grid, according to industry executives, investor presentations and documents reviewed by Reuters.
