Solar tariffs at record low in India’s largest auction

Bloomberg

Solar tariffs in India remained at record lows in the country’s largest federal auction of 3 gigawatts of projects, according to state-run Solar Energy Corp. of India.
Acme Solar Holdings Ltd. won 600 megawatts of projects at the lowest tariff of 2.44 rupees a kilowatt-hour, the record low hit last May and then again in an auction earlier this month, SECI General Manager Sanjay Sharma said in a phone interview.
The country, home to almost half of the world’s 30 most-polluted cities according to the World Bank, has a target of installing 175 gigawatts of renewable energy by March 2022 in a bid to reduce fossil-fuel pollution.
