RBI MPC may provide some trigger
Connecting the green energy stock rise with the RBI MPC meeting, Seema Srivastava, Senior Equity Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities, said, “The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other regulators can create green lending guidelines. They should work towards providing incentives for solar investments. These might include preferential capital treatment for solar projects, lower-rate credit lines, and new risk-sharing tools. Tax incentives can boost the appeal of solar investments. Such incentives may include accelerated depreciation and income tax exemptions. Standardising power purchase agreements and simplifying regulatory processes can enhance investor confidence.”
