Delhi CM Gupta announced the Delhi government was partnering with financial institutions to offer easy loan options for the financing of the remaining installation cost of solar panels up to 3 KW capacity which is approximately Rs 90,000.
While India currently relies heavily on coal for its electricity, it has a target of installing 450 gigawatts of renewable energy that should account for about half its needs by the end of this decade. Rapid increase in solar, especially rooftop solar, will be necessary to meet that goal.
The West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission (WBERC), may unveil renewable energy regulations in a fortnight, paving the way for households and housing complexes to install solar rooftop panels and connect them to the grid. R
