Karnataka has over 5.1 GW of large-scale solar installations and the country’s biggest solar project pipeline worth over 2 GW in capacity, making it India’s leading renewable state. But, recent land ownership issues and safeguard duty impositions which forced the KREDL to issue a project tender thrice have slowed the pace of developments. The response to this new tender remains of high interest across the industry to gauge the impact of the safeguard duty on the country’s biggest solar state, though the scale of this project may not be the best gauge of the impact. We are willing to predict a fairly competitive bidding scenario with bids at well under Rs 3 per unit.
