In a bid to promote electric vehicles and solar energy, the Indian government has made some crucial changes in the electricity Act.
According to Union minister for power and new & renewable energy R. K. Singh, the amendments will facilitate easier and faster installation of rooftop solar systems by exempting systems up to 10 kW from the requirement of a technical feasibility study and reducing the timeline for systems above 10 kW from twenty days to fifteen days. These changes will also strengthen consumer rights and promote the adoption of renewable energy.
