Bihar is projected to face significant shortfalls in its Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) targets for the year 2025. The state's current trajectory indicates that it will not meet the mandated renewable energy quotas set by regulatory authorities. This shortfall is attributed to several factors, including slower-than-expected progress in renewable energy installations and procurement challenges.

The RPO is a critical component of India's renewable energy framework, designed to ensure that states increase their share of energy from renewable sources. The shortfall in Bihar could impact its ability to meet future sustainability goals and could also lead to financial penalties as stipulated by the regulations. To address these challenges, the state may need to accelerate its renewable energy initiatives and explore alternative solutions to bridge the gap.
