Bribery allegations against Adani Group founder Gautam Adani have highlighted the growing problem India's renewable energy developers face in finding buyers for the power they generate. While India's central government wants to shift away from polluting coal-fired generation towards solar and wind,

Gautam Adani was charged with allegedly paying US$265 million in bribes related to power supply contracts in Indian states.

India's renewable energy output has seen growth, with solar generation reaching 115.97 TWh in 2023, up from 102.02 TWh in 2022, as per Global Data insights. However, renewables still account for only 21.6 per cent of the country’s total electricity generation, indicating that much work remains to meet the nation’s clean energy targets.
