    Of the 6 GW wind power project won by SECI in the 2017-2018 tender, about 4 GW of capacity has not yet come online, with a production rate of less than 33%,
    according to India's Economic Times.

    The newspaper quoted an unnamed official from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) as saying that only 1,961 MW of tender winners had been commissioned during the stipulated period
    .
    Despite the upcoming commissioning deadline, the remaining capacity has not yet been released to the grid
    .

    According to the government official, the main reason for the delay was the lengthy permitting process and the initial reluctance of the Gujarat government to lease the land to projects secured by
    SECI's tender.

    In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic is also a major setback and it is desirable to extend the timeline
    .
    At the same time, wind developers complain that in some tenders, the offer is too low and economically unviable, which creates challenges for lending
    .

    SECI held four tenders between 2017 and 2018, and while the third tender commissioned only 277 MW and the 2 GW in the second tender did not commission any projects
    .
