Renewable Energy
The energy transition is creating new legal challenges at the intersection of technology, regulation, and infrastructure. Vectis Law advises renewable energy companies and cleantech platforms on the legal structures that underpin project development, power procurement, and technology deployment in India's rapidly evolving energy market. We understand the technical and commercial realities of solar, wind, battery storage, and distributed energy systems, and we structure agreements that account for the unique risk profiles of energy projects. Our work spans from early-stage development agreements through commissioning, operation, and refinancing.
Key Services

Regulatory Landscape
India's renewable energy sector is governed by the Electricity Act 2003 and the National Electricity Policy, supplemented by state-specific renewable energy policies, CERC and SERC tariff regulations, MNRE guidelines, and renewable purchase obligation (RPO) frameworks. The green hydrogen policy framework adds a new regulatory dimension for emerging energy technologies. We help clients navigate this multi-layered regulatory environment across central and state jurisdictions to structure compliant and commercially viable energy projects.
