These rooftop solar PV plants will be installed in the residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors around the country, with capacities ranging from 1 kWp to 500 kWp.Rooftop solar plants are commercially feasible since they can generate power for approximately INR 7 per kWh without any subsidies. The government also gives organisations or individual firms a 15% subsidy for these plants, making the scheme even more profitable.

NewGen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre The National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board, which is part of the Indian government's Department of Science and Technology, established the NewGen IEDC programme.
