Delhi rooftop policy targets free 3 kW solar systems for 230,000 homes

The Economic Times reported that Chief Minister Rekha Gupta framed the programme as part of Delhi’s Green Delhi push to reduce power bills and accelerate household solar adoption. The policy is designed to lower the installation-cost barrier for residential consumers, a persistent obstacle in rooftop PV markets. Eligible households would receive 3 kW systems without upfront payment, with implementation targeted before March 2027. For the distributed solar sector, the plan is a large demand-creation measure in one of India’s highest-profile urban power markets.
