A few days ago the government had reduced the capacity of a solar project to be developed by NTPC from 15 GW to a meager 3 MW.

“Since the solar power price has fallen recently, it is not proposed to take up Tranche II (5GW) and III (7GW),” New & Renewable Energy Minister R K Singh had said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.

The government has set a target for installing 175 GW of Renewable Energy capacity by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from Biomass and 5 GW from Small Hydro power.
