India will launch $5 billion of transmission-line tenders in phases, beginning in June 2019, to route a targeted 175 GW of power from renewable sources into the country's grid by 2022, the secretary at the ministry of renewable energy said. India, the world's third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has pledged to cut emissions and have clean energy account for at least 40 percent of its installed capacity by 2030, up from 21.4 percent now, while looking to manage its energy appetite as its population becomes more prosperous.
