India's solar proliferation is hampered by erratic policymaking, especially in Maharashtra. Despite aiming for clean energy, retroactive changes to energy banking negatively impact private solar producers, increasing costs for industries and AI data centers. This risk drives investments elsewhere. Political interference further complicates matters, undermining India's ambition to be a global factory and AI hub. The lack of consistent, investor-friendly policy makes Indian energy unnecessarily expensive, hindering the nation from leveraging its solar potential.
