Solar players make a fast buck by blocking plug points to the grid

A grey market has emerged in India’s solar sector due to grid infrastructure lagging behind project installations. Smaller players are exploiting this by booking interconnect capacity and reselling it at premiums, hindering genuine developers. This misuse leads to underutilization of green corridors and increased project costs, impacting financial viability, especially in key hubs like Fatehgarh and Bikaner.
