The Indian prime minister has unveiled a new initiative under the Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana, aiming to deploy rooftop solar systems for 10 million households. The initiative seeks to reduce power costs for low and middle-income households while fostering India’s energy self-sufficiency. Earlier in January 2024, REC Limited was designated as the main executor. To expedite rooftop solar adoption, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has issued directives to streamline procedures and sanctioned updated incentives in Phase-II of the programme.
