Many conventional power manufacturers are selling a huge portfolio of their assets in the previous years. Major purchasers are the marquee private equity funds-backed renewable platforms.

Since 2017, India has drawn investments of Rs 1.32 lakh crore in the renewable energy sector. Currently, the renewable energy capacity of India is around 95 GW, with 40.5 GW of solar power.

The renewable energy (RE) capacity of India is likely to grow from 10.5 GW to 11 GW in the FY 2021-22, following a strong project pipeline of around 38 GW.

It is estimated that the RE sector would see investments of Rs 3.5 trillion in the upcoming four years, increasing the share of RE capacity from 25% (March 2021) to 34% by March 2025, driven by the solar power sector.
