JNNSM & State policies

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)

announced by the Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy (MNRE), Government of India unveils an enabling
policy framework for the deployment of 20,000 MW of
grid connected solar power projects by the year 2022.
The JNNSM also envisages the deployment of an
additional 2,000 MW equivalent capacities through
various off-grid solar projects.
In addition to the framework announced by the MNRE,
various States have set enabling frameworks to encourage deployment of Solar Energy in their respective States
by targeting ambitious goals in grid connected solar
power, off-grid applications and local manufacturing of
solar modules, cells, inverters and other components.

DEVELOPMENT

The objective of Solar Guidelines is to facilitate dissemination

of proper and desired information to project developers,
administrative institutions, financial institutions and various
other stakeholders to ensure timely implementation of
solar projects under JNNSM. By facilitating this, the project
offers a pathway for the development of solar projects,
through legal-administrative-regulatory frameworks to
financial closure. It is the first project of its kind in India and
envisages enabling investments and rapid development of
the Solar Sector.
Solar Guidelines will be a web based tool providing free
access to the information, with regular updates of the
various stakeholders.
Solar Guidelines will provide a systematic analysis of
practical experiences that shall help to streamline the
framework and business conditions in India.
Solar Guidelines will focus on solar programmes
announced at the National level as well as on solar
programmes in Indian States.
