Government policies/incentives

Promoting electricity generation from renewable energy sources is one of the main objectives of the
NTP and is also encouraged under the Electricity Act. Therefore, one of the functions of SERCs under
the Electricity Act is to also promote co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable
energy sources.
The MNRE has launched the:
NSM.
