## Details of the major ongoing renewable energy (RE) schemes/programmes being implemented by the Government

1. Scheme for Development of Solar Parks and Ultra-mega Solar Power Projects with a target of setting up 40,000 MW capacity. Under the scheme, the infrastructure such as land, roads, power evacuation system water facilities are developed with all statutory clearances/approvals. Thus, the scheme helps  expeditious  development  of  utility-scale  solar  projects  in  the  country.  The  scheme envisages a capacity of 40,000 MW with  Central Financial Assistance (CFA) outlay of Rs.8,100 crore.
2. Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme Phase-II (Government Producer Scheme) for  setting  up  grid-connected  Solar  Photovoltaic (PV)  Power  Projects  by  Government  Producers, using domestically manufactured solar PV cells and modules, with Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support,  for  self-use  or  use  by  Government/  Government  entities,  either  directly  or  through Distribution  Companies  (DISCOMS).The  scheme  envisages  a  capacity  of  12  GW  solar  power projects by Government entities with CFA outlay of Rs.8,580 crore.
3. Production  Linked  Incentive  scheme  'National  Programme  on  High  Efficiency  Solar  PV Modules' for achieving manufacturing capacity of Giga Watt (GW) scale in High Efficiency Solar PV  modules  (Tranche  -  I  &  II).  The  scheme  envisages  setting  up  of  fully/partially  integrated manufacturing capacity of high efficiency Solar PV modules with CFA outlay of Rs.24,000 crore.
4. PM-KUSUM Scheme to promote small Grid Connected Solar Energy Power Plants, standalone  solar  powered  agricultural  pumps  and  solarization  of  existing  grid  connected  agricultural pumps. The scheme is not only beneficial to the farmers but also States and DISCOMs. Under the scheme a target of 10,000 MW of grid connected solar plants and installation/solarization of 49 lakh pumps has been envisaged with CFA outlay of Rs.34,422 crore.
5. PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana for installing rooftop solar for 1 crore households (30 GW capacity) with CFA outlay of Rs.75,021 crore.
6. Green Energy Corridor (GEC) Phase I and II: to create intra-state transmission system for renewable energy projects. Under phase I of the scheme 9700 ckm (circuit kilometers) of transmission

infrastructure is to be developed in 8 States with CFA outlay of Rs.4056 crore.  Under phase II of the scheme 10,750 ckm of transmission infrastructure is to be developed in 7 States with CFA outlay of Rs.3970 crore.

7. 'Viability Gap Funding (VGF) Scheme for Offshore Wind Energy Projects' at a total outlay of Rs.7453 crore, including CFA outlay of Rs.6853 crore for installation and commissioning of 1 GW of Offshore Wind Energy Projects (500 MW each off the coast of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu), and grant of Rs 600 crore for upgradation of two ports to meet logistics requirements for offshore wind energy projects.
8. Bio-Energy Programme:
- Waste to Energy Programme:  Programme on Energy from Urban, industrial and Agricultural Wastes/Residues.
- Biomass  Programme:  Scheme  to  Support  Manufacturing  of  Briquettes  &  Pellets  and Promotion of Biomass (non-bagasse) based cogeneration in Industries. Approved Target: 100 MW; CFA outlay Rs.158 crore
5. •
6. Biogas Programme: for promotion of family type Biogas plants

Approved Target: 200MWeq; CFA outlay: Rs.600 crore

Approved Target: 50,000 Nos of family type Biogas plants with CFA outlay of Rs.100 crore

9. Renewable Energy Research and Technology Development (RE-RTD) Programme. Support to R & D projects, testing centers, Startup etc.  in the renewable energy sector with CFA outlay of Rs.228 crore.
10. Human Resource Development Scheme with components such as short-term trainings & skill development programmes, fellowships, internships, support to lab upgradation for renewable energy and renewable energy chair. The scheme envisages creation of skilled manpower in the renewable energy sector with CFA outlay of Rs.200 crore.
11. National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched with the aim of making India a Global Hub for  the  production,  utilization  and  export  of  Green  Hydrogen  and  its  derivatives.  The  scheme envisages at least 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonne) of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030 with CFA outlay of Rs.19,744 crore.
