has been providing several concessions in the form of fiscal and financial incentives
to encourage the use of renewable energy sources. These include capital/interest
subsidy, accelerated depreciation, nil/concessional excise and customs duties.
Further, as applicable to all new infrastructure projects, profits earned from
sale of renewable power are exempt from Income Tax for any 10 years out of the
first 15 years of project’s operation. This apart, preferential tariff for grid
interactive renewable power is being given in most potential States. Details of
