On 26th February 2018 the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of India (MNRE) issued Order extending capital grants support for Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) until 2020.
The subsidy is available for a variety of concentrating solar thermal applications, such as community cooking, solar process heat and solar cooling. In the financial year 2018 to 2019, the subsidy amount is set at 30 % of the benchmark or actual investment cost, whichever is lower. In the last year of the programme, it will be reduced to 20 %. In the special category states, project developers will receive between 60% and 40 % of the capital costs.
Programme budget is set for INR 70 million from the MNRE. Applications must be submitted via the country’s State Nodal Agencies.
