Despite attempts by the country's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to reduce commissioning timelines, Karnataka's solar power developers don't believe the efforts will be enough to achieve government aims of reaching 100 GW of capacity by 2022. The ministry has proposed plans which promise to cut the commissioning timeframe by around a quarter. However, developers believe that issues related to tender and auction cancellations, transmission infrastructure availability and uncertainties related to safeguarding are more pressing concerns. New solar installations slumped to their lowest levels in more than a year in Q2 of 2018.
