About IPPAI

The Independent Power Producers Association of India (IPPAI) is a not-for-profit association that was set up in 1994, shortly after the Government of India opened power generation to private players and invited developers to set up power projects in India. It was set up initially with the idea to provide a neutral forum to independent power producers (IPPs) to discuss various issues and bottlenecks that the nascent power industry faced as the country moved from command to market economy.

IPPAI's initiatives are focused on addressing energy project developer risks, removal of related difficulties, spreading better understanding of emerging policy and regulatory issues, and encouraging discussion between all stakeholders to promote the transparent and competitive growth of the Indian energy, power and allied sectors.
