India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) granted a nine-month extension to SECI and IREDA for solar projects under the CPSU Scheme Phase-II. The deadline has been pushed to December 2025 following requests from both agencies. MNRE cited delays caused by limited availability of domestic photovoltaic modules, transmission infrastructure issues, and tender-related setbacks. The CPSU scheme targets 12 GW of solar capacity using locally manufactured components. The extension reflected broader difficulties in the sector, including weak tender participation, land acquisition challenges, delays in finalizing power purchase agreements, and project cancellations. These issues continue to affect progress toward India’s 2030 goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel power capacity.
