Maharashtra to provide additional subsidy to EWS for rooftop solar panels

Deccan Chronicle  

MUMBAI: In a bid to promote rooftop solar power in economically weaker sections of society in Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnasiv government will bring a new policy in a fortnight. The state government will give subsidies to purchase solar panels on line of the central government’s “PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana” to consumers from weaker sections. In a recently held review meeting, the energy department was directed to come up with a policy to provide a subsidy to the consumers, who are using less than 100 units of electricity and can’t afford the rooftop solar power panel due to financial constraint. At present, the central government is only providing a subsidy of Rs 30,000 to consumers, who are using 150 units of electricity monthly, for installation of rooftop solar plants of 1 kW. A senior official from the state government said that the provision for installation of rooftop solar power panels is not sufficient for EWS consumers, who can’t afford the remaining cost.
