The government is contemplating an increase in subsidies for rooftop solar adoption to 60%, up from the existing 40%, as part of a new scheme focused on economically disadvantaged consumers. Special purpose vehicles of Central Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) will fund and install these units, utilizing budget allocations, with eventual ownership transfer. The revamped structure is crucial for realizing the vision of achieving solar penetration in 101 million households, learning from previous shortcomings.
