The use of renewable power by states is on the rise but is trailing the targets set by the power ministry. Among major states, only Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka met the renewable purchase obligation in FY18 and FY19. Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Punjab, Maharashtra and Telangana — which have 56% of the country’s installed renewable capacity — could not fulfil the RPOs in FY19, though they all met the target in FY18.
