Govt Customizes Stipulation; Cuts Application Costs for Little Solar Module Manufacturers

• In a considerable action in the direction of offering more alleviation to tiny solar module makers, the Ministry of New and also Renewable Energy (MNRE) has actually customized its present arrangements connected to application charges.

According to the brand-new stipulations, for tiny photovoltaic (PV) module makers having actually overall set up production ability less than or equal to 50 MW, the application cost for one design of module will certainly be Rs 2,500 per MW of the overall mounted production capability for solar PV components, of the candidate.

Previously, this application charge was Rs 5,000 per MW of the overall mounted production capability for solar PV components along with for cells. Likewise, in case of application includes several designs, application cost continued to be Rs 5,000 per MW for one version as well as extra 1 percent of this for each added version.

Today, after the changed arrangements by the federal government this cost has actually been decreased to a much higher level for tiny suppliers which will certainly assist in offering much more equal opportunity to them.

As an example - if a candidate having actually overall mounted production ability of solar PV components as 100 MW, makes an application for enlistment of its 3 various versions of components, the application charge will be 5,000 × 100 + 5,000 x100x0.01 + 5,000 x100x0.01 = Rs 5,10,000.

Currently, after the adjustment in the stipulations such application charge for a 50 MW production capability would certainly be 2,500 × 50 + 2,500 x50x0.01 + 2,500 x50x0.01 = Rs 1,27,500.
