India’s grid capacity puzzle
Grid curtailment in India reached 6,825 GWh in the first half of 2026, equivalent to 4.9% of renewable generation and already 1.8 times the total recorded in 2025. Solar accounted for 4,729 GWh of that volume.
Summary
India is adding renewable energy capacity faster than transmission infrastructure can keep pace, and the consequences are now showing up in project economics, writes Vijay CS of Aurora Energy Research. The situation can change greatly from one substation to the next, meaning grid capacity is now a key consideration for deciding a new project’s location.
