Covid-19 lockdown: Centre relaxes timelines for completing renewable energy projects
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has granted a one-month extension for renewable energy project developers. The extension is to be considered valid for a month beyond the existing deadlines.
An official statement said that implementing agencies may grant extension of time for RE (renewable energy) projects, on account of the lockdown due to Covid-19.
“The extension will be for the period of lockdown, plus 30 days. This will be a blanket extension — there will be no requirement of case-to-case examination. There will be no need to ask for any evidence for extension due to lockdown,” an official statement said.
