Clean Energy Solutions Center | India: Supporting Wind Power with Tax Incentives and Ensuring Project Sustainability India’s domestic income tax law provides a 10-year tax holiday for wind generation and distribution projects, if power generation began before 31 March 2014. Under this policy, wind operations pay a minimum alternative tax of approximately 20% (based on income). After 10 years of operation, the tax can be offset. This policy design element helps to ensure ongoing operation of the plant and sustainable deployment outcomes
