The Indian state of Karnataka is planning to increase its solar energy targets to 6GW, up from the 2GW set in 2014.

The share of renewables, excluding hydropower, in India’s energy mix has reached 5.7% as of February this year, up from 4.97% in 2012/13, according to data released by the Central Electricity Authority.

India has released state-wide targets in order to achieve its newly revised Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs) of 17% by 2022.

India’s government has approved significant amendments to the nation’s power ‘Tariff Policy’, including increasing the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) to 8% for solar energy by March 2022.

India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is about to send a revision of the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) to the country’s Union Cabinet for approval.
