“Karnataka is a big pull for the renewable energy industry, and we are pleased to have partnered with it to expand the sector further,” noted Shivanand Nimbargi, MD & CEO, Ayana.

“The state, under its Renewable Energy Policy 2022-27, aims to develop 10 GW of additional renewable energy projects. Ayana is keen to help it achieve that target, creating an attractive and sustainable ecosystem for clean and green energy development,” he added.

According to information available with T&D India, Karnataka’s current renewable energy policy seeks to establish 10 GW of additional renewable energy projects with or without storage systems in the state, including up to 1 GW of rooftop solar PV projects, by 2027.
