Wind energy cos seek deadline extension for project completion

Wind energy companies in India woefully behind their project timelines have sought a blanket extension for all ongoing and future projects, calling the current 18-month timeframe “unviable”.

At a meeting between renewable energy companies and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in June, wind companies have requested the government to extend the deadline for project completion to at least 24 months, according to people who attended the meeting.
