The rooftop solar programme, announced by the finance minister in the interim Budget, can be a “gamechanger” and the State Bank of India (SBI) looks at it as an opportunity for its home loan business, the bank’s chairman Dinesh Khara said on Wednesday.
In a fireside chat with Tamal Bandyopadhyay, consulting editor of Business Standard, at the third edition of the India Mortgage Leadership Conclave in Mumbai, Khara said, “We look at it as an opportunity. We have already introduced various products to promote the adoption of solar energy, and rooftop solar is one such program that we are already running.”
