Power evacuation infrastructure growth in India has lagged behind the pace of power capacity additions due to unique challenges faced by transmission projects, with implementation delays running into several months and even years. Right-of-way issues, landholder opposition, compensation disputes, litigation, and delays in obtaining forest, wildlife, and tree-cutting approvals are among the key challenges delaying the commissioning of transmission projects. Project developers frequently cite transmission infrastructure as a major cause of delays in solar project commissioning. Projects to evacuate renewable energy across India are struggling to keep pace with solar and wind capacity additions, which are rising in recent years.
