In a telling move, the Indian government has ordered renewable energy agencies to cancel solar tenders that were hurriedly pushed through without proper planning. These tenders, rushed under corporate pressure, risked locking the country into exploitative contracts instead of building a truly people-centered clean energy future. India desperately needs solar expansion, but the process has been hijacked by corporate greed and reckless policymaking. Instead of ensuring fair tariffs, robust land rights protections, and community benefits, agencies were rushing bids that favored large private developers. This crisis once again exposes how governments bend to corporate demands while ignoring both climate urgency and people’s rights. The cancellation is a reminder that clean energy must not repeat the same extractive models of coal and oil—it must be just, inclusive, and sustainable. India’s energy transition cannot be another playground for profiteers.
