India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has reduced the commissioning timeline for solar schemes inside and outside solar parks to 21 and 24 months, respectively, down from 15 and 18 months. The MNRE guidelines also squeeze financial closure timelines for projects in solar parks down from 12 to nine months. Developers have said the changes bring instability and do nothing to address the challenges of land acquisition and the availability of transmission infrastructure.
