2 The Initiative team conducted extensive, open-ended conversations with close to 250 stakeholders. This included the Steering Committee members, Chairpersons and senior staff of central and State electricity I. n November 2013, NITI Aayog (at the time, known as the Planning regulatory commissions, Energy Secretaries of states , managing Commission of India) initiated a stakeholder-driven analysis of the directors of generation, transmission and distribution companies, grid opportunities and barriers to rapid deployment of Renewable electricity in operators and managers, power planning agencies, civil society, industry, India, titled India's Renewable Electricity Roadmap 2030'.

3 This activity was finance, developers, and bilateral and multilateral institutions in 12 states in conjunction with its role of co-leading the 21st Century Power Partnership and in Delhi. (21 CPP), a multilateral effort of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) that serves as a platform to advance the large-scale deployment of Renewable Published in February 2015, the Roadmap Document proposed strategic Energy . interventions to achieve India's ambitious RE targets of 175 GW by 2022. It concluded that India needed new policies, programs and operational rules The Initiative was guided by a Steering Committee, which was led by Member ( Energy ), Planning Commission.

4 Further, it included as members: RE installed capacity (MW). Secretaries from key ministries (Power, New and Renewable Energy , Tamil Nadu 10,625. Finance, and Environment and Forests) Maharashtra 7,648. Karnataka 7,458. Chairpersons from key central level agencies (Central Electricity Gujarat 6,672. Authority, Power Grid corporation of India Limited). Rajasthan 6,238. Principal Secretaries ( Energy ) from two representative states (Tamil Andhra Pradesh 6,164.

While several recommendations proposed in the Roadmap Document 14,817. were already being considered by the government for example, a draft RE Karnataka 7367. law the need to have greater integration between the efforts of various 14,362. states in moving towards India's 175 GW target and the importance of Rajasthan 6,238. looking at the Renewable Energy sector in a holistic manner for sustainable 14,020. transformation was critical. Andhra Pradesh 6,047. This formed the background for the current phase of the RE Integration 12,018. Madhya Pradesh 3,622. Roadmap activity.

7 The objective of this phase was, therefore, to create a platform to promote coordination among various State and central level 6,457. Telangana actors to achieve national Renewable Energy and climate change targets. 1,546. The outcomes included development of State Action Plans (SAPs) for 9. Punjab 5,066. states in India, and bringing together different actors involved to realize 1,413. India's RE ambitions on a common platform. 688. Assam 46. These 9 states were broadly categorized into two sets: As of March 31, 2017, except for Andhra Pradesh and Punjab (May 2017), Karnataka (June). Resource-rich states (7): Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya states .

8 However, they have achieved just 40% of the target so far. The major Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Telangana bottlenecks preventing the scaling of RE in these states are the integration of the naturally variable RE capacities into the grid, balancing, regulatory Resource-deficit states (2): Assam and Punjab issues, lack of an effective marketplace and economic challenges. As on March 31, 2017, these 9 states had a total RE installed capacity Also, while RE is picking up, a majority of the states are dependent of 51,087 MW, which is about 89% of the 57,260 MW RE capacity of India. on thermal-based (coal and gas) power generation.

9 Therefore, for India to Further, 73% of the 175 GW target to be achieved by 2022 has been allotted achieve the 175 GW target by 2022, these 9 states have to give a push to to these 9 states . These targets are in line with the RPO targets of the their deployment of RE. n Background | 3. Implementation structure set up by Niti Aayog Methodology Oversight Advisory Group Monitoring I. n order to bring various Indian states under the fold of discussions and Chaired by Vice Chairman, to provide a platform for dialogue between different central government Niti Aayog Steering Committee institutions and agencies, NITI Aayog constituted a two-tier implementation Chaired by CEO, Niti Aayog structure: an Advisory Group and a Steering Committee.
