India’s renewable energy (RE) transition is central to achieving net-zero goals and energy self-sufficiency. With RE capacity growing threefold in the last decade—reaching 227 GW in 2025—India now ranks 4th globally. Yet, securing and managing land for RE projects has emerged as a critical bottleneck. As RE expands, land availability, access, and governance are becoming increasingly complex. Competing land uses, overlapping claims, valuation challenges, and limited local participation have put over ₹30,000 crore of investments and 1 lakh hectares of land at risk.Despite its centrality, land literacy remains low across the RE ecosystem—among state departments, developers, and investors—making coordination and engagement difficult.
