It added that the country will also require an additional $150-170 billion of investment for electricity transmission and distribution.
Abhishek Tyagi, Vice President and Senior Credit Officer at Moody’s, said: “The sizeable pipeline of announced projects will keep the financial leverage of renewable power companies rated by Moody’s high over the next two-three years, but the leverage of government-related issuers will remain moderate over the same period.” He also highlighted the strong growth in the country’s renewable energy capacity to continue but coal will remain a major source of electricity generation over the next 8-10 years.
