India Urges States to Boost Clean Energy Purchases

23 September 2025 at 09:33 pm IST

India’s renewable energy ministry is pushing state governments to increase clean energy procurement, as many state-run utilities continue to delay purchases despite growing availability. Renewable energy minister Pralhad Joshi said the federal government is engaging with states that are waiting for further price drops and plans to hold a second round of talks soon.

Government data shows over 44 gigawatts of renewable energy remain unsold due to weaker demand from state utilities. The move underscores New Delhi’s efforts to accelerate clean energy adoption and prevent projects from being stranded as the country works toward its energy transition goals.
