With the Government’s Rooftop Solar Project in full swing in India, more than ten million applications have been received for installing grid-connected solar panels on houses. Each householder who avails of the scheme will receive a subsidy of Rs78,000 and 300 units of electricity free every month. To meet the demand, more than 50,000 entrepreneurs are being trained to supply the necessary products. An amount of Rs750 billion has been allocated for this project, and entrepreneurs involved in commissioning the panels will receive collateral-free loans to help them initially. The Government is strict about the specifications of the solar panels to ensure the energy generated meets the required standards.
When it comes to the electric vehicle industry, the Indian government’s policy aims to attract investment from any country looking to capitalize on the growing market in India.

Companies already operating in India will not need to establish a new subsidiary company. Investors who adhere to the guidelines will receive import licenses at a reduced duty rate for a specified number of electric vehicles. The concessionary import duty is 15 percent on vehicles costing $35,000 and above, with a five-year duration.
