Indexed renewable energy tariffs can save up to Rs 21,880 cr for discoms over 5 yrs: Study

New Delhi: Indexed (inflation linked) renewable energy tariffs can save India’s discoms up to Rs 21,880 crore over the next five years, a joint study by IEEFA and CEF said.

Inflation indexation of tariffs for future solar capacity could provide much-needed financial respite to the distressed power distribution sector and help India move away from coal-fired power, a joint briefing note by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and CEEW-Centre for Energy Finance (CEF) said.
