India Advances Household and Farm Solarisation with PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM-II Plans
India's renewable energy initiatives include the PM Surya Ghar scheme aiming to solarise one crore households by 2027 with central subsidies and net metering. NDA-ruled states actively support the scheme with additional subsidies and streamlined approvals, while non-NDA states show less engagement. Separately, the government is considering a Rs 35,000 crore follow-up to the PM-KUSUM programme, focusing on farm solarisation, irrigation efficiency, and water conservation, with discussions ongoing on funding and implementation details.
