“Proposed UMPPs in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Ladakh in J&K with a budget of Rs 500 crore is very encouraging. If the govt ensures issues of evacuation, land and availability of the water is taken care of – there will be a lot of players willing to enter this segment” – Vineet Mittal, Founder President, Solar Power Developers Association (SPDA)
“Easing of bank lending norms to infrastructure and facilitating setting up infra trusts positive for improved access to funding for a sector which needs high quantum of long term financing”- KVB Reddy, Executive Director, Essar Power
 “Proposal to increase clean energy cess from Rs 50 per tonne to Rs 100 per tonne for financing and promoting will indeed be a major boost for wind energy in particular”                                           – Tulsi Tant, CMD, Suzlon 
 “From Rs 100-crore allocation for super critical ultra modern thermal power to the rationalisation of coal linkages will facilitate the struggling power producers and put the stranded power plants on a rebound course”                                                                                                                                       – Anil Chaudhry, Country President and MD, Schneider Electric India 
“Enhanced focus on gas sector is key positive of gas transportation players and city gas distribution entities. However, the utilisation of existing and upcoming gas pipelines could vary with the availability of natural gas, which critically depends upon the faster review of domestic gas pricing along with resolution of NELP related issues” – K Ravichandran, Sr. VP, Co-head corporate sector ratings, ICRA
