During the grand finale event, which marked the conclusion of Ujjwal Bharat Ujjwal Bhavishya – Power @ 2047, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched the National Portal for Rooftop Solar via video conferencing. Designed and developed by NIC, this portal enables monitoring of the application process for the installation of rooftop solar plants, beginning with the registration and ending with the final release of subsidies into consumers’ bank accounts following installation and inspection of the plant. Addressing the commemoration, Hon’ble PM said, “we are resolved to create 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by the completion of 75 years of independence. Today we are close to achieving our goal. So far, about 170 GW capacity has been installed from non-fossil sources.” He further added that solar panels are being encouraged in households as this will help in reducing electricity consumption and bills in the country. Each year, this will save 50 thousand crore rupees in terms of electricity bills for lower-middle-class and middle-class households.” Hon’ble PM also said that along with increasing the production of electricity, the emphasis should also be given on saving electricity. Our distribution losses are in double digits, whereas in the developed countries of the world it is in single digit. Solar can help with this. He also highlighted the benefits of PM Kusum Yojana and said, “We are providing a solar pump facility to farmers, helping to install solar panels on the side of the fields.” He reiterated, “Saving electricity means enriching the future.”
