Delhi Approves Free Rooftop Solar Panels for 2.3 Lakh Households by 2027
The Delhi government has approved the second amendment to its Solar Energy Policy, aiming to install free 3 kW rooftop solar systems for 2.3 lakh households consuming up to 400 units monthly by March 2027. The policy includes upfront financial support combining central and state subsidies, with the government covering remaining costs and maintenance for five years. Existing electricity subsidies will continue, and net metering timelines have been shortened to encourage solar adoption and reduce electricity bills under the 'Green Delhi' initiative.
