Regarding Wind Energy, under the Generation Based Incentive (GBI), Rs.0.50/Unit is provided to private developers as incentive for generation of power subject to a ceiling of Rs.1.00 crore/MW. The benefit is to be availed in more than 4 years and less than 10 years. The year-wise targets and achievement in last three years and current year are given below:

The wind power development is taking place with private sector investment, for which proposals are not to be submitted in the Ministry. The GBI claims of developers are settled by Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) and as such no proposals are received in the Ministry from States/UTs.
Regarding Wind Energy, the expenditure under GBI scheme in last three years and current year is given below:-
