The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) has set ambitious targets for power generation from solar energy in India. The Mission aims to have about 10 GW of grid-connected solar power plants by 2022. The mission is divided into 3 phases and the targets for grid-connected solar PV plants for each phase are

In addition to the JNNSM, several state governments have separate solar policies (Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka) and many other state governments (Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh etc) are drafting solar policies on their own. Apart from this, the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) is expected to drive the growth of the solar PV power generation sector.

Who can benefit: 

• Companies keen on diversification especially from the infrastructure industry
• Companies already into power projects based on conventional sources like coal
• Captive consumers
• Obligated entities
• Independent Power Producers
• Solar PV companies keen on forward integration, and more.

Strategic and financial benefits:

Businesses can benefit mainly through diversification into the promising renewable energy sector, or through captive power generation.  Long term Power Purchase Agreements ensure that the company receives stable returns in the long term for 20-25 years.
