Desh Deshantar: बजट से उम्मीदें - ऊर्जा क्षेत्र | Budget Expectations - Energy Sector

Renewable energy industry’s expectations are high and all eyes are on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman making big bang announcements for the sector.

While a majority of the industry stakeholders expect some sort of restructuring in the goods and services tax (GST) for solar and wind energy equipment, others are anticipating a single-window approval system and favourable net-metering regulations.

Industry heads are hoping for a range of announcements ranging from putting an end to central financial assistance (CFA) in solar rooftops, to enabling a regulatory framework for the sector.

“In an ideal world, a clean energy product like solar rooftop should be GST free. If not, at least the current product to service ratio (70:30) in GST calculation needs to be restructured (90:10),” said Pranesh Chaudhary, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) at ZunRoof, a residential solar rooftop company.
