MNRE plans support scheme to close AgriPV cost gap
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has proposed a central support scheme for agriculture-linked solar projects, known as AgriPV. The scheme aims to bridge the 25-30% higher cost such projects carry. MNRE Secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi said 5 GW of capacity is possible, and that additions depend on states notifying feed-in tariffs.
