Suzlon's founder and managing director Tulsi Tanti has
asked the state government to take a relook at its renewable energy policy.
"The state government should relook its policy and should allow captive
power projects. Just like in the case of solar power rooftop projects, why not
industries be allowed to manufacture, use and supply the excess energy to the
grid. The state is energy deficient, and if we want to grow, then captive is
the correct way to go. Also, the renewable policy should be such that SMEs and
medium enterprises are supported," he said.
"Other states are aggressive in their growth in the renewable power
projects, while Maharashtra, which had a good growth till now, is not has
reached a stagnant stage in the renewable energy space," Tanti added.
