Policy framework
In general, India's strategy is the
encouragement of the development of renewable sources of energy by the use of incentives by the federal and state governments. Other examples of encouragement by incentive include the use of nuclear energy ( India Nuclear Cooperation Promotion Act), promoting wind farms such as Muppandal, and solar energy (Ralegaon Siddhi). provided by the
