Renewable energy projects will take time to resume construction although the government has relaxed the lockdown restrictions for them.Project developers said labour shortage is a worry and village panchayats may not allow external labour to enter as there would be a virus risk. “Mobilising the team will be a challenge. If people have gone across the country, they are not going to come back. And if the project is in a village, a local government authority might be worried about migrant labour returning and the virus spreading,”a solar developer said, requesting anonymity.There is a possibility of various layers of authorities entering the picture and attempting to interpret guidelines, according to the developer.
