Why it matters
The scheme aims to increase domestic solar power usage across Tamil Nadu, setting a target to approve installations for one lakh households by next March. Under the program, the Union government provides up to Rs.78,000 for a three-kilowatt system, while the State government contributes additional subsidies.
The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has recently been announcing welfare schemes while addressing rising prices and shortages of LPG.
