The Delhi Government has notified the first amendment to its Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023, raising the subsidy for residential rooftop solar installations. The amended state capital subsidy for residential rooftop solar systems is now Rs 10,000 per kW, capped at Rs 30,000 for systems with a capacity of up to 3kW.
The notified amendment also introduced a new capital subsidy for group housing societies and resident welfare associations of the national capital. From now onwards, a subsidy of Rs 2,000 per kW will be provided for solar capacity installed for the common facilities, including EV charging infrastructure, up to 500 kW.
The 500 kW cap consists of both common facilities and rooftop solar systems installed by individual households within the society.
Furthermore, subsidy disbursements will be conducted through the direct benefit transfer system. Additionally, the amendment has also modified the hybrid renewable energy servive company (RESCO) model. Under the updated structure, RESCO developers will install rooftop solar systems on consumer premises, and consumers will receive a single consolidated electricity bill from the DISCOMs.
