Below the Quote on Budget Reactions 2024 by Radhika Choudary, Co-Founder, Freyr Energy

“The Budget 2024 has unveiled the Vision for Vikasit Bharat, emphasizing a harmonious relationship with nature. The government is actively promoting inclusive sustainable development through initiatives such as rooftop solar, as outlined in the Finance Minister's speech. Anticipating new guidelines and incentives under the 'Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana,' the industry is optimistic about India's rooftop solar energy transition.

The commitment to rooftop solarization and providing free electricity to one crore households is expected to infuse competitiveness and innovation into the solar sector. With the potential to contribute significantly to achieving the government's target of making India net zero by 2070, this boost is poised to generate employment opportunities for the youth engaged in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance within the solar industry. The interim budget has successfully unlocked the true economic potential of India's rooftop sector.”
