Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the website of the Green Climate Fund, the project will support the Government of India’s initiative in fulfilling renewable energy targets by enabling access to solar rooftop developers to the required means of finance. The fund will be used to provide loan assistance to commercial, industrial and residential housing sectors to partially cover the upfront cost of investing in solar roof top Photovoltaic systems.

The programme aims to tap around 250 MW of solar rooftop capacity in the initial phase over 2018-2022. Tata Cleantech Capital Limited (TCCL), the implmenting agency, aims to cater to the specific market needs and will be a facilitator to bridge existing gaps/current barriers in the rooftop solar sector.
