The proposed Electricity Bill is supposed to mandate states to buy renewable energy. The issue in India is that it run it's coal power plants really poorly (wastes about close to 50% of it's generated power away) - Most of them are run by State Govts (Private players don't waste as much). Solar is getting a lot of traction in rural India. Some farmers have used it as an alternative revenue stream (some engage in fishery below the panels). So ya, improvements are happening. Just hope it picks up pace.

@crazydrifter13 ya because you don't look at power generation and consumption data. Coal power in India trails consumption and then runs at a generation surplus for months until a State bureaucrats says so. Indian power plants wastes away 50% of the coal it consumes this way.
