MNRE 13 States have come out with Solar Policy supporting gridconnected rooftop systems : Andhra Pradesh Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana,Karnataka, Kerala, Manipur, Punjab, Rajasthan, UttarPradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. SERCs of 19 States/UTs have notified regulations for netmetering/feed-in-tariff mechanism :- Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka,Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal,Andaman & Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli,Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep, Pondicherry, Goa, UP,Rajasthan and Odisha. Remaining States are requested being pursued to comeout with their policies/regulations.

Following remaining States should notifyregulations and policy for grid connectedrooftop systems:Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, HimachalPradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Gujarat,Jharkhand, Telangana, Assam, MadhyaPradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur,Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab,Sikkim, Tripura

Department of Financial Services has advised all PublicSector Banks to provide loans for grid connectedrooftop solar systems as home loan/ homeimprovement loan. So far, nine PSBs namely Bank of India, SyndicateBank, State Bank of India, Dena Bank , Central Bank ofIndia, Punjab National Bank, Allahabad Bank, IndianBank and Indian Overseas Bank have given instructionsto their branches. However, it is yet to be made effective at field level asno branches of these banks are providing such loans. Department of Financial Services may issue appropriateinstructions to make it more effective.

Reserve Bank of India on April 2014 has includedrenewable energy projects under Priority SectorLending for which bank loans up to a limit ofRs. 15 crore to borrowers will be available forrenewable energy projects including gridconnected solar rooftop and ground mountedsystems. For individual households, the loan limit is Rs. 10lakh per borrower. This is yet to be mad effective at field level.
