Translated from the Hindi original · translation AI-generated
India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has proposed an exemption from transmission charges for clean energy projects that are facing delays due to unplanned transmission lines. This move indicates a shift in policy, as India had begun to phase out exemptions from inter-state transmission charges for new solar, wind, and hybrid projects starting July 2025. According to the proposal, projects that have signed power sale agreements for at least seven years by December 31, 2026, will be eligible for this relief. Additionally, battery storage systems will also be included in these benefits.
