Frequently asked questions
Can foreign investors own 100 percent of an Indian renewable energy project?
Yes. Foreign investment in renewable power generation is permitted up to 100 percent under the automatic route, subject to the general conditions of the foreign investment rules.
Why does land title diligence take so long on solar portfolios?
A single project can sit on land bought or leased from dozens of owners, each with a separate chain of title, revenue record and land use conversion. Each parcel has to be checked against state records, and gaps are common.
