CHENNAI: The Prime Minsiter’s rooftop solar scheme is faced with delays in Tamil Nadu. Of the 40,000 registered for the scheme in the state, only 5% have received their panels.
The PM’s rooftop solar scheme, announced by the Union government in this year’s budget, aims to cover one crore households across the country within a year, providing up to 300 units of free electricity monthly. TNIE had earlier reported that Tangedco is pursuing an ambitious target of covering 25 lakh households within a year, following a letter sent in this regard by the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
