“SUPER SOLAR POLICY BRINGS NEW LIGHT TO FARMERS’ FUTURES”

One Year of the Rekha Government’s Solar Revolution in Delhi

One of the most far-reaching and transformative steps of the Rekha Government’s first year has been the Agricultural Land Solar Policy, which has opened new avenues of growth for farmers. It is pertinent to note that this policy is not merely an energy-generation plan, but it has emerged as a foundation of trust and self-reliance for farmers. By removing the mandatory NOC requirement, the government ensured that farmers can access the scheme without administrative hurdles.

Further, the policy’s most significant innovation is the agrivoltaic model, which allows solar panels to be installed above fields while farming continues below. This significant step ensures that land produces both crops and energy, without affecting yields or disrupting traditional agricultural practices. Notably, farmers are not required to make any investment, eliminating financial risk.

By combining stable additional income, the benefit of free electricity, and long-term energy security, this policy is bringing economic stability to farmers’ lives.

A New Income Path Through Solar Subsidies

The Rekha Gupta government has not limited solar to subsidies alone; it has turned it into a source of income. This aspect of the solar policy has transformed citizens from mere consumers into energy producers.

• Rs 3 per unit for plants up to 3 kW

• Rs 2 per unit for plants from 3–10 kW

• Up to Rs 900 per month as additional income from a 3 kW plant

CM’s Message for the Masses

One year of the Rekha Government has proven that a solar policy is not merely an energy policy, but it is a policy of ease of living, delivering lower bills, cleaner air, additional income, and a secure future.

Special benefits for Group Housing Societies: ₹20,000 per kW (maximum ₹10 lakh)
