Abstract
Wind power is gaining a stronger position in the Indian electricity market, mainly due to preferential feed-in tariff and other incentives given by the Central and State governments. This chapter assesses the growth of the Indian wind market compared to other leading markets in the globe. Then, State-level progress is discussed in detail. The chapter reviews policy measures and incentive schemes devised by the Central government, State government, and regulatory bodies to achieve the desired objectives. The authors discuss the challenges of increasing wind penetration in India and conclude with steps to achieve greater wind penetration through active participation of the Central and State governments and the regulatory bodies by working cohesively and collaboratively to iron out implementation failures and take appropriate measures for successful implementation of various rules, regulations, and policies.
