I think the policy swings from state to state. There are some states that are going big on renewables.
In India , Thermal power is provided by NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation) , when state power supplies dwindle , power is procured from NTPC. The per unit price of this is way higher than the one from local grids.
Some power supply companies and the central government now provide subsidies for roof top solar and buy the power into the grid at a fixed price slab (consumer gets it at variable slabs). This is quite good in few states e.g (https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/kseb-plans-to-generate-1000-mw-of-solar-power-by-next-year/article33662950.ece https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/kseb-plans-to-...) , Gujarat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Gujarat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Gujarat , https://theprint.in/india/how-gujarat-is-building-worlds-largest-solar-power-park-close-to-its-border-with-pakistan/634984/ https://theprint.in/india/how-gujarat-is-building-worlds-lar...). Consumer demand is also on the rise , eventually this will balance out with Renewables and Nuclear power (India is one of the largest renewable energy adopters , and there is a good subsidy for this)
