Indian Government Pushes To Promote Solar Energy In The Country.
An array of solar panels is being seen over a sewage canal in Kolkata, India, on July 29, 2024. During the budget announcement in 2024, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is launching the PM Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana to install solar panels in 1 crore households, which will provide 300 units of free electricity. She is further adding, ''Solar energy and energy transition are critical in the fight against climate change. To support the energy transition, I am proposing to expand the list of exempted capital goods for use in the manufacture of solar cells and panels in the country. However, in view of the sufficient domestic manufacturing capacities for solar glass, glass, and thinned copper interconnect, I am proposing not to extend the exemption of customs duties provided to them.''
