Abstract
To attract developers in wind energy sector, several state governments have enacted various policies–feed-in-tariff, wheeling charges, banking, third party sale and open access transmission. Of these policies, feed-in-tariffs (FiT) are considered to be the most important. This chapter tests the efficacy of FiT for eight Indian states having significant resource potential using panel data for the period 2004–05 to 2010–11. The results indicate that higher FiT has helped states in attracting FDI.
