India Updates Land Compensation Rules and Approves Andhra Pradesh Power Transmission Expansion
India's Union Ministry of Power has issued revised guidelines to streamline land compensation for transmission lines, aiming to resolve disputes that delay renewable energy projects. The guidelines establish a Market Rate Committee to assess land value where official rates are insufficient. Concurrently, the central government approved a ₹27,370 crore power transmission expansion in Andhra Pradesh under the Green Energy Corridor Phase-III, targeting enhanced renewable energy evacuation by 2032-33, with the first phase expected by 2029-30.
