By 2022, India is targeting the installation of 175GW of renewable energy capacity, an

ambitious target that will require a four-fold growth in the sector. The country has
installed capacity over 50GW of renewable capacity as of December 2016, 57% of
which is wind. The 2022 target includes 60GW of large and medium-scale grid-
connected solar power projects, 60GW of wind, 40GW of solar rooftop projects, 10GW
of bio-power and 5GW of small hydro. As a result, renewable energy in India has seen
more fervent investment, capacity building activity and a steeper fall in per unit energy
supply tariff than any other energy source in the country, with the REWA tender
driving it to a new low of Rs 2.97 (4.4 cents) recently.

This has notably resulted in a 157% increase in solar power capacity addition during
FY2015 and FY2016, and the highest ever wind power capacity addition in FY2016,
which totalled 3,300MW taking India to the fourth position in overall wind installation
in the world. India has now achieved 28.6% of its 2022 renewable energy installation
target of 175GW.
Cumulative installed capacity as of December 31st, 2016:

 WIND: 28,700.44MW
 SOLAR: 9,012.66MW
 SMALL HYDRO: 4,333.85MW
 BIOPOWER: 7,856.94MW
 WASTE TO POWER: 114.08MW

Landmark achievements, such as the commissioning of Adani's 648MW Kamuthi solar

plant in Tamil Nadu, now the world's largest, have been milestones for the industry in
2016 as the sector sets its eyes on the ambitious target of 175GW by 2022.

WIND: 1,922.99MW installed in FY2017 as of December 31st, 2016.

SOLAR: 2,149.81MW installed in FY2017 as of December 31st, 2016.

SMALL HYDRO: 59.91MW in FY2017 as of December 31st, 2016.

BIOPOWER: 101MW installed in FY2017 as of December 31st, 2016.

WASTE TO POWER: 7.5MW installed in FY2017 as of December 31st, 2016.

OFF-GRID and CAPTIVE POWER: 107.75MW installed in FY2017 as of December 31st,

2016.

Last year was nothing less than phenomenal for the renewable energy industry
globally, and nowhere was the sentiment more palpable than the podium at
Renewable Energy India, which saw the three-day packed event brimming with
optimism!
Supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Solar Energy
Corporation of India (SECI), the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA)
and the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), the Expo’s 2016 edition reiterated
its status as Asia’s premier and most influential renewable energy forum.

Participation from 40 countries,

160 speakers,
612 exhibitors,
26,370 trade visitors,
1,270 conference delegates

The Conference was also supported by leading industry organisations, including

Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the Indo German Energy Forum, the Council on
Environment, Energy and Water (CEEW), Indian Bio Gas Association,Solar Thermal
Federation of India, Mercom Communications, Bridge to India and The Indus
Entrepreneurs (TiE).

Rajneesh Khattar, Group Director, UBM India on REI 2016: “Much can be said about
the year-on-year growth for REI, but let me add it is all a reflection of the confidence
the industry has reposed in us. The Indian growth story needs not be validated any
longer and renewable energy is surely a huge success story for the entire Indian
business landscape, this being the outcome of favourable government policies, the
international consensus on green energy and the spirit of the Indian entrepreneurs.
REI has now comfortably gained the status as the most trusted and anticipated show
for this industry and it’s my sincere belief that the coming years and the next decade
will solidly build upon the trust and the goodwill that we have so passionately
cultivated in the last ten years!”

RENEWX 2017: Renewing Opportunities, Energizing Growth

APRIL 7-8, 2017 – Hitex, HYDERABAD

Organized by UMB India, RenewX is where South India’s renewable energy sector
meets. RenewX 2017 is a platform built to accelerate the growth of South Indian
Renewable Energy and contribute to the country’s sustainable economic
development. The 2015 edition of RenewX, organized under the theme “A Sunrise
Region that tamed the Wind,” notably saw the esteemed participation of 45 speakers,
243 conference delegates and 4,230 trade visitors.

South India: a Fertile Ground for Renewable Energy Opportunities

Large electricity demand-supply gap

Vast available resources like solar, wind, bio-mass materials and urban and industrial
wastes
Conducive state-government policies
Large number of financing options
Increase industry awareness on the benefits of a greener economy
Rapidly developing industrial and manufacturing sectors

Now hosting the world’s biggest solar plant in a single location: Adani’s 648MW
Kamuthi solar plant in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India is a growing renewable
energy destination, with as many as seven solar parks totalling 7,200MW planned in
the region. Supported by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), the Indian
Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), the Telangana New & Renewable
Energy Development Corporation (TNREDCL) and the National Small Industries
Corporation (NSIC), RenewX will provide an excellent platform for organisations to
capitalise on and penetrate the lucrative South Indian renewable energy market. For
