In January, Indian state-owned power equipment manufacturer Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) won an order to build three extra high voltage (EHV) substations to transmit power from the multi-GW Pavagada solar park, which has already seen several tenders for PV capacity.

In the same month, Karnataka also tripled its solar target to 6GW, in line with central government targets, but capped individual project sizes for this additional capacity at 100MW each.
