Third edition of green energy event deferred

BENGALURU: The third edition of RE-INVEST, India’s flagship renewable energy event has been postponed, which industry executives say reflects growing concerns of investors in the sector. The inaugural event was held in February 2015 and the second in October 2018.

“The 3rd RE-INVEST has been postponed due to unavoidable reasons,” said a letter written by the secretary, ministry of new and renewable energy Anand Kumar. It was scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 2 in Delhi.

This is despite the curtain raiser to the event held by MNRE last month. “We may want to hold it every couple of years instead of once each year,” said a ministry official, requesting anonymity. “We are looking at holding it in October 2020,” the person said.
