Standing Committee on Energy (16-17) has briefed the 16th Lok Sabha. The
committee has presented the 28th report on ‘National Solar Mission –An Appraisal’
on 31st July 2017. Key discussion points have been covered in the presentation.

3. National Solar Mission : Motive
Gensol Group
Initially,the Mission initiated to provide large-scale grid connected power.
Also, to reduce our dependence on fast depleting conventional sources, knowing the
fact that India has potentialmore than 750 GW from solar energy
Mission is being expanded at rapidly towards decentralized & disbursed
industrialisationto change the Rural EconomyofIndia.
Looking into the wide emergence of the solar energy applications/utilization, NSM
targets have been revised to 100 GW from 20 GW for Grid connected solar power
projects in June2015.

4. National Solar Mission : Overview

19. Bidding – Success Story…..
Gensol Group
The trends of solar tariff in India till 2016-17 are given below: The reasons for plummeting of the cost of solar power prices are as under:
(i) Conducive policies for encouraging solar sector;
(ii) Improved project structuring and technology;
(iii) Better learning curve;
(iv) Decline in cost of solar cells/modules and Cost of financing”

auction done by NTPC at Kadapa Solar Park in Andhra
Pradesh in April, 2017.
The solar tariff further declined to Rs. 2.44 per unit in the
recent reverse auction done by SECI at Bhadla Phase-III
Solar Park in Rajasthan in May, 2017.

20. 7. Grid Interactive Rooftop & Small SPV Programme
Gensol Group
To meet the targets of 40 GW (Out of 100 GW) that needs to be
achieved from grid connected solar rooftops by 2022, Ministry has
introduced various subsidies have been introduced.
•The capital subsidy of 30% (70 % for special category Sates and Andaman
& Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands) is available for residential,
institutional and social sectors.
•MNRE is implementing RTS Programme for development of 4200 MW. Out
of 4200 MW capacity, 2100 MW capacity has to be installed through CFA/
incentive in the residential, social, Government / PSU and Institutional
sectors. The balance 2100 MW is to be implemented without any subsidy.
• As on 30th April 2017, MNRE has sanctioned projects of cumulative
capacity of 2032 MWp to various State Nodal Agencies (SNAS) and Public
Sector Undertakings / Authorities (SECI, CEL, REIL, Railways, AAI, etc), of
which about 661 MW of RTS capacities have been installed including
subsidised and non-subsidised projects.
•Ministry has scaled-up budget from Rs. 600 crore during the 12th Five Year
Plan to Rs. 5000 crore for RTS to be installed up to 2019-20 that will
provide financial support for installation of 4200 MW.
The reasons for slow progress are as
follows:
•Involvement of multiple approval process like
connectivity, net metering, Chief Electrical
inspection (CEI), limitation in sanctioned etc.
•Skill and knowledge gaps
•Withdrawal of subsidy/CFA in private
industrial and commercial sector
•Non-uniformity of Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) and Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC)
agreements
•Slow progress of Implementing agencies
•Lack of consumer awareness
•Non-uniform regulations across states
•Tedious process for project commissioning
and subsidy disbursement
•Frequent changes in Government Policies
•Lack of policies addressing grid connected
rooftop solar

NABARD.

25. Off-Grid Solar Program : Progress
Gensol Group
Under NSM 1st & 2nd Phase target, around 800 MW of projects for Off-Grid Solar PV
applications were targeted. Out of which, 965.5 MW Sanctioned & 462.5 MW
installed till date.
MNRE in cooperation with Deutsche Gesellschaftfuer Internationale Zusammenarbiet
(GIZ), is implementing a project on “Solar Thermal Solution for Space Heating in
Ladakh (SolLad)”. As a result of this, Kargil Renewable Energy Development Agency has
come up with a proposal to install 1000 Nos. of Solar Space Heating systems in the
region of Leh and Kargil.
Under NSM, targets of installing solar collectors are 15 million square meters up to
2017 and 20 million square meter up to 2022 respectively. Out of which, around 1
million square meter collector area has been installed by 31st March 2016.Water
Heating System subsidy discontinued w.e.f. 1st Oct 2014 with 12 million sq.m
installations so far.
Under Atal Jyoti Yojana, Ministry targeted installation of 2,97,440 street lights in 169
constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Assam by 2018 . Out of
which, only 9401 lights are installed as on date. The main constrain is availability of
batteries, which are needed to be imported.

26. Performance Under DCR Category in India
Gensol Group
To promote solar manufacturing in India, MNRE had been following the policy of Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) under its
various Schemes for solar projects with support through Viability Gap Funding (VGF) or bundling of thermal power. But now this
policy itself has been challenged in WTO. 100 MW in AP under 2000 MW VGF Scheme & 350 MW under 5000 MW VGF scheme got
cancelled after WTO ruling.

28. Observations & Recommendations to achieve NSM Targets
Gensol Group
Key highlights
A target of 175 GW has been set to be achieved by 2022. The success of the mission solely and squarely hinges on
the success of solar energy programmes.
More schemes should be initiated with respect to financial investment like providing access to loans at more
favorable rate of interests, introduce Green Bonds through SECI, approaching international donors, arranging
finances from Green Climate fund etc.
Under Development of Solar Parks and Ultra Mega Solar Power Project only 1516 MW capacity, out of 20,000
MW capacity, have been commissioned inside Solar Parks. All necessary actions should be taken to expedite the
development of Solar Parks.
CFA actually released for preparation of DPR for solar park is only INR 906.12 Crores i.e. about 45% short of the
target (INR 1650 Crores). Reasons for low disbursement of funds should be identified and remedial measures should
be taken in this regard.
In the view of falling solar tariff, there is no justification in paying the developers INR 4.43 per kWh as solar tariff
under VGF scheme. Reconsideration in the VGF Scheme in the CPSUs sector should be done, due to floundering of
projects.
Under Bundling Scheme 15000 MW through NTPC, only 1090 MW has been commissioned (under tranche I i.e
3000 MW); 64% short of the target. The aim of bundling thermal power with solar power is to incentivize the solar
power. However, in the view of dropping solartariff, thermal power is getting incentivized.

29. Observations & Recommendations to achieve NSM Targets
Gensol Group
Key highlights Single Window Clearance System should be adopted in RTS for approvals like connectivity, net-metering, electricity
inspection, limitation in sanctioned load,etc. and the process of subsidy disbursement should be madesimpler.
To give boost to rooftop solar systems, operationalization of Net Metering is of utmost importance. However,
DISCOMs are reluctant to operationalize the Net-Metering Regulations as it may reduce their income from high-
paying customers. Micro cooperative grid in a standalone manner should be explored wherein a group of
consumers/ householdscan be pooled in for availing thesolar rooftop benefits among themselves.
As the Solar Pumps scheme is mainly focused on small and marginal farmers who may not be able to bring
upfrontcapital, the procedure foravailing loansshould bemade easier and simpler.
Off-Grid applications are uneconomical since they face obstacles including high capital cost, complicated
procedure of subsidy disbursal, difficulty in local operation and maintenance. Hence, Public-Private Partnership
with rural entrepreneurs should beencouraged.
DCR: Per unit price of solar power has dropped from INR 10.95 in December 2010 to INR 2.44 in May 2017. For
arriving at lower tariff, the bidder may have considered a lower Return of Equity (ROE) which makes the quality of
the material used in an apprehensive state. Hence, High Anti-Dumping Duty or Duty based on efficiency of the
material imported should be imposed so as to discourage import of poor quality material.
Despite of low labour cost, Indian Manufacturers are not able to compete with Chinese Firms. Urgently a dedicated
Programme should be formulated to establish India as a Solar Manufacturing Hub so as to provide policy support
to the complete value chain.
