POWER SECTOR PROFESSIONALS : An Optimised Regulatory Roadmap! Breaking into India's power sector? The regulatory maze can be overwhelming. Based on my experience, here's my tried and tested step-by-step guide to master the essentials: START HERE - THE FOUNDATIONS: 1) Electricity Act, 2003 → Your legal Gita 2)  National Electricity Policy & Tariff Policy → Government's strategic vision REGULATORY POWERHOUSES: 3) CERC Regulations → National-level regulations (tariffs, grid code, open access/ general network access, deviation settlement mechanism, balancing & settlement) 4) State ERC Regulations → Your local playing field ( licensing, tariff, supply code, standard of performance, grid code, etc) 5)  CEA Regulations → Technical standards & safety protocols FUTURE-FORWARD AREAS: 6) Renewable Energy Regulations → RPO, REC mechanisms, net metering 7) Open Access ( or, General Network Access) & Power Trading → Market liberalization essentials 8) Environmental & Safety Compliance → Project approval must-haves EMERGING FRONTIERS: 9) Smart Grid, EVs & Distributed Energy → Stay ahead of the curve PRO TIP: Master each level before moving to the next. Think of it as building a regulatory pyramid - strong foundation = successful career! The Indian power sector is transforming rapidly. From coal to renewables, centralized to distributed, traditional to smart grids. Understanding these regulations isn't just about compliance , it's about spotting opportunities and driving India's energy transition. Which regulation are you tackling first?

🇮🇳India’s Production Linked Incentive (#PLI) scheme for the #solar #photovoltaic (#PV) #manufacturing #sector. Solar PV module manufacturing capacity under the #PLI scheme has reached 18.6GW, while #cell-making capacity is close to 10GW. By June 30, 2025, the #PLI-linked capacity comprises: - 18.5GW of #solar #modules, - 9.7GW of #solar #cells, - 2.2GW of #solar #ingot-#wafers. These numbers come from the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (#ALMM) and official manufacturer info. Under the #first tranche of the #PLI for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules, Letters of Award (#LoA) have been issued to three major bidders: #Shirdi Sai Electricals, #Reliance Industries, and #Adani New Industries—covering 8.737GW of fully integrated PV #manufacturing. The second tranche awarded LoA to 11 bidders for 39.6 #GW of new, mostly integrated PV module capacity. The current installed #cell manufacturing capacity in India is 26.35 #GW, which the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) seeks to expand to about 42 GW by June 1, 2026. The #PLI scheme prioritizes #high-efficiency solar PVs and aims to boost domestic production, reducing India’s import dependency. The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (#MNRE) has also issued policy guidelines to further promote domestic manufacturing. #Solar module imports dropped sharply from $3.42billion in #FY22 to $2.15billion in #FY25, indicating a move towards #domestic #manufacturing.
