The Ministry of Power (MoP) has extended the timeline for the submission of the details for renewable consumption obligation (RCO) compliance for the financial year (FY) 2024-25 to May 31, 2026. The decision follows multiple representations from designated consumers, submitted through the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, requesting additional time due to challenges in meeting the original deadline.
Considering these requests and the difficulties faced by obligated entities, the authorities have approved a two-month extension for the final RCO compliance submission. The extension has been granted with the approval of the competent authority.
Earlier in January 2026, the MoP released draft National Electricity Policy (NEP) 2026 and, once finalised, intends to replace the existing NEP, which was notified in 2005.
