Availability of adequate long-term financing at competitive rates is key in achieving India’s renewable as well as sustainable goals, rating agency ICRA said as part of its pre-Budget expectations report.
The Union Budget for FY23 will be tabled in the Parliament on February 1.
The rating agency said that incentives and relevant policy measures are needed to promote investments in the energy storage segment, considering the increasing share of renewables in the electricity generation mix.
“This apart, policy measures are required to revive the stranded gas-based projects, which would enable availability of balancing power sources,” it said.
