Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (NSM)

Under the Government’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (NSM) that started in January 2010, the country aims to have 2,000 MW of installed solar power generation capacity by 2013, which would be further increased to 10,000 MW by 2017 and to 20,000 MW by 2022. Reliance Power was one of the successful bidders to develop 470 MW of concentrating solar power capacity under the first phase of the NSM.
