India has also seen radical changes in its installed capacity mix, havingalready achieved the ambitious 2030 renewable energy deployment target of 50% cumulativeelectric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy sources by summer 2025.1 Despite robust success with deployment, India’s renewable sector is facing challenges inscaling growth. Since 2023, there has been a notable rise in post-b
