The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing Rooftop Solar (RTS) Programme
Phase-II, wherein, Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is being provided for the installation of RTS
in the Residential sector only, including Residential Welfare Association (RWA)/Group Housing
Society (GHS). The Programme envisages the installation of 4,000 MW of RTS capacity in the
residential sector till 31.03.2026. CFA is not available for other categories i.e. institutional,
educational, social, government, commercial, and industrial sectors as the beneficiaries in these
sectors are high tariff-paying consumers and adoption of solar would be economically beneficial for
them even without CFA.
This information has been given by the Union Minister for New & Renewable Energy and Power Shri R. K.
Singh, in a written reply to a question, in Rajya Sabha on February 6, 2023.
