Indian Power minister Ashish Sood has released a policy reform in New Delhi focusing on simplifying procedures for installing PV plants on agricultural land. The Delhi government has clarified that elevated PV deployments do not violate the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, eliminating the requirement for Change in Land Use approvals. Under the framework, farmers were permitted to install elevated PV panels while continuing agricultural activities. The revenue department accepted a standardised undertaking from landholders in place of CLU approvals. The policy was aligned with Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC)norms on virtual and group net metering, allowing surplus power to be monetised. The minister said coordination with the Delhi Development Authority, the law department, and the revenue department resolved long-standing legal hurdles.
