Gujarat Solar Power Policy, 2021: State’s new solar power policy removes capacity ceiling for setting up plant

Chief Minister Vijay Rupani announced Tuesday the Gujarat Solar Power Policy, 2021, for the next five years that aims to reduce the power costs of industrial units by around 50 per cent while removing any capacity ceiling for setting up a solar project in Gujarat. The policy also allows consumers to give their roof or premises on lease to a third party for generation and consumption of power on same premises.

“As a result of this new solar power policy, increase in consumption and production of solar energy in the state will bring down production cost for the industries and also intends to help ‘Made in Gujarat’ brand increase its presence in the global market,” the CM said.
