BUDGET 2024 LIVE | Amit Kumar, Partner and Energy & Renewables, Grant Thornton Bharat on solar rooftop scheme

The Rooftop Solar Scheme will be launched covering one crore households in the country. 300 kWh/month free electricity will be provided to these households. This focused programme, involving PSUs under the Ministry of Power, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, and state agencies will encourage vendors and banks to actively participate. Residential consumers will now be able to get the customised rooftop solar systems, which will fulfill a large part of their energy needs; they will receive free electricity and earn extra money by selling extra power.
