In addition to government investment, there has been considerable 3.1
interest and investment in R&D by the industry. The RE-Invest 2015
mobilized 200 global investors and financers that made commitments
of close to 273,000 MW for the renewable energy sector.
Policies Promoting Renewable Energy Innovation
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) support for
renewable energy R&D activities comprises areas including grid
interactive renewable energy, rural and urban energy needs, waste
to energy, alternate fuels, and emerging technologies. Recognizing
the market led nature of the renewable energy sector and to make the
sector a net foreign exchange earner, the Ministry primarily aims to
support industrial R&D to make the industry competitive.
A comprehensive policy on research, design, development and
demonstration (RDD&D) is in place to support R&D in the new
and renewable energy sector, including associating and supporting
RDD&D by industry for market development. In this regard, a scheme
has been evolved that provides guidelines for project identification,
formulation appraisal, approval, and financial support.
Various policy instruments for promoting R&D in the renewable
sector are broadly categorized as market-based policy instruments and
command and control policy instruments (Box 1.1).
