Delhi Solar Policy 2023

Powering Delhi’s Green Future with Solar Radian

🔆 Policy Overview

The Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023, effective from 14th March 2024, aims to accelerate rooftop solar adoption across the National Capital Territory. Implemented by the EE & REM Centre, Department of Power, GNCTD, this policy encourages homeowners, institutions, and businesses to embrace clean solar energy.
