The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has notified a timeline extension in the scheduled commissioning date (SCoD) of renewable energy projects considering disruption due to the second wave of COVID-19.
As per the order, renewable energy projects being implemented through implementing agencies designated by the MNRE having their SCoD on or after April 1, 2021 would be eligible to claim time-extension for completion of their project activities provided that such time-extensions are not used as a ground for claiming termination of power purchase agreement (PPA) or for claiming any increase in the project cost. The actual quantum of time-extension will  be decided in due course depending on the COVID-19 related developments that take place in the coming weeks.
