Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has introduced the Delhi Solar Policy 2024, outlining substantial benefits for consumers. The policy allocates ₹570 crore to incentivize solar power installations on rooftops, projecting that 20% of Delhi’s electricity will be solar generated by 2027. Consumers stand to gain by reducing electricity bills to zero and even receiving refunds if their consumption is below 200 units monthly. Kejriwal emphasizes the financial advantages, citing potential earnings of ₹700-900 per month for consumers, enabling the recovery of installation costs within four years.
