Utility-Scale Energy projects in India face delays

Pinaki Bhattacharyya, CEO and MD of AmpIn Energy Transition, highlighted the range of challenges that utility-scale projects in the energy sector grapple with in India. These issues, including policy shifts, regulatory hurdles, delayed signing of power purchase agreements (PPAs), land acquisition, and supply chain disruptions, often lead to project delays.
