Further, from our reading on the ground we expect 300-400MW of the anticipated 950MW of projects allotted to actually come up on the optimistic side.

Similar numbers on the national solar mission where 145MW PPA for PV has been signed, we expect about 60% of the projects to actually come up.

However it is glad to note that the attention of the global solar community is now turned towards India. The request for selection for the second stage of the national solar mission where bidding for about 301 MW is to happen, is expected in the next couple of months.
