About 11,778 MW of renewable power was added in FY18, failing to achieve the target of 14,500 MW.

To promote inter-state sale of renewable power, the Government has waived the inter-state transmission charges for wind and solar projects commissioned by March 2022. The Indian Government has set a target of achieving 175 GW of renewable capacity by 2022.
