Ministry held session for stakeholders in renewable energy industry

BENGALURU: The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) today held a brainstorming session for all stakeholders in the renewable energy industry.

Major challenges faced by the industry were deliberated upon at the day long meet. “We discussed a lot of land problems like land use — the challenges faced from converting it from agriculture to other uses — there’s a lot of delay during that process. There is also the problem of land ceiling. To acquire land above a certain limit, it requires approval of the state cabinet which takes a lot of time,” said Anand Kumar, Secretary, MNRE.
