The Power Ministry is planning to make it mandatory for any thermal power producer planning to install a new generating capacity after April 1, 2024, to either set up or acquire renewable energy capacity equivalent to it. This will increase the country's capacity for renewable energy. It intends to introduce an amendment to the Tariff Policy 2016 to incorporate the renewable generation obligation (RGO) provision in order to put this into practice. The project aims to reach the goal of producing 50 per cent of electricity from non-fossil fuels.
