Mixed signals for India's wind sector
November 28, 2012

In a Bloomberg report on Monday a spokesman for Mytrah Energy, the country’s third largest wind developer, warned that the rate of new wind turbine installations was in a free-fall and would continue to be so due to the government’s inability to formulate a sound policy to support the industry. The country may install as little as 1,500-MW of capacity by the year ending March 31, about half what it did the previous year
