The central government has asked states to ease land availability for renewable energy projects with a focus on wind power, two people aware of the developments said, citing industry concerns over the pace of progress.

States are now looking at consolidating unutilized government land for wind power projects as the ministry of new and renewable energy pushes for completion of 500GW of non-fossil power capacity by 2030.

The people quoted above said the government is looking into several issues flagged by industry, including land availability, to ensure faster implementation of projects.

"At several forums including RE Invest 2024 and the 'Chintan Shivir' last month the issue of land availability has been talked about. The Centre has asked states to make efforts and provide land to wind power developers as land is a state subject. Post recent recommendations, a few states are now looking at consolidating government land and offering for green projects," said one of the two persons.
