#renewables

Clean energy from the sun has never been more accessible and affordable. Ordinary citizens are already getting ready to take part in this energy revolution. India is changing and so are its energy policies. From dirty coal-based power, we are gradually moving towards cleaner renewable alternatives. But we still have a long way to go.

To make solar power more attractive and affordable, both the centre and the state governments have introduced schemes and subsidies. This means that any ordinary person or a small business owner, can install a rooftop solar plant, produce electricity and reap benefits for the next 25 years. Remember, Clean Energy = Clean Air and by switching to renewables, we can make a coal-free world possible.
