Indian Renewable Energy
Development Agency (IREDA), a non-banking financial
company is envisaging formation of a Special Purpose
Vehicle to facilitate setting up a Special Economic
Zone (SEZ) for production of renewable energy equipment.
IREDA is discussing the issue with interested State
Governments and Private Sector.
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,
Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have evinced interest
to facilitate setting up of such SEZs. However, the
final decision to set up a SEZ would depend on various
techno-economic considerations of investors.

Minister of State for New And Renewable Energy, Shri
Vilas Muttemwar, in a written reply to a question by
Shri J.M. Aaron Rashid, Shri Girdhari Lal Bhargava,
