India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has released new rules governing distributed solar PV projects on Lakshadweep and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The guidelines include both an extension to the implementation timeline for proposals, which will now run until 21 March, 2020, and an increased target capacity, which has been raised to 40 MW from 52 MW. The project has also been expanded to include battery energy storage, solar-plus-storage, floating PV and transmission systems.
