solar rooftop subsidy Yojana

The ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) have also fixed the subsidy amount for every customer regardless of their state and the customer can get the solar power plant installed from any vendor whom they vetted properly and negotiated the best price for themselves. Earlier subsidy was disbursed on the basis of overpriced L1 rate of each state that use to differ from state to state. Now customer can negotiate the prices of the solar power plant with their vendor and can get the best price from them and claim the whole subsidy which is fixed by MNRE.
