 Land acquisition and policy paralysis have been the major roadblocks for his company in the past few years, acknowledges Sanjay Ghodawat, Chairman, Sanjay Ghodawat Group. He says, “We as a Group are committed to implement renewable energy projects across India. But if there is better governance in terms of more lucrative policies this will attract more investments.”   Short term measures When asked about the immediate short term measure to revitalise the sector, Ghodawat suggests, “(We need) single-window clearance for all permissions required for setting up of renewable energy projects.” Better policies to attract more investments and the government’s support in land acquisition will revitalise the sector, he observes.
