Renewable energy developers have sought up to Rs 3,000 crore in relief after transmission delays forced projects to curtail 80-90% of generation, Energy Times reports. Their proposals include concessional bridge finance, a repayment moratorium covering the delay period and longer loan tenures without penalties. Some companies are reportedly losing up to Rs 50 crore a day, while commissioned projects are evacuating just 10-20% of their power because general network access is delayed. The Neemrana-II and Bikaner-III substations and their connecting corridor in Rajasthan remain delayed beyond the December 2025 target, partly because of forest clearances and right-of-way issues. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has sought project-wise data from the National Solar Energy Federation of India before deciding the size and structure of any package. The ministry did not respond to the publication’s questions.
