Abstract
With growing energy demand and the need for future energy security, sustainability and environmental stability, the world is steadily moving toward greater use of renewable energy. Renewable Energy Development Policy implementation is the backbone of policy because it directly impacts project success and scalability. States with a clear strategy and well-articulated policies have moved sooner than others in India. Because each state has separate regulatory control over the renewable energy policies it implements, this gives state-level initiatives considerable importance. By analysing the different policies of some important leading states of India, this study examines the role of policy support in meeting the requirements for satisfactory development of renewable energy. The study is based on three large states of India, which have high installed renewable energy capacity. The results show that the energy transition and share of renewable energy among the top-performing states are significantly enhanced due to their adoption of more state-specific renewable energy policies. The study also notes that states that are more committed to doing the work have seen greater success with renewable energy policy than those that were unwilling to make any effort to implement them. Such successful experiences may then be better examples for other states to fortify their renewable energy sectors in line with their resources and any developmental needs.
