The coronavirus crisis has disrupted the momentum in all segments of the renewable industry. The Ministry of Power’s (MoP) waiver on Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) charge is currently only applicable to projects commissioned before December 31, 2022, but transmission projects are expected to get delayed beyond this date due to the ongoing pandemic. The deadline was revised from March 31, 2022, set previously.
