Govt extends exemption for net metering, open access for renewable energy projects till December

The government has extended the exemption for net-metering and open access RE projects. This extension allows these projects to commission without ALMM List-II compliance until December 2026. Previously, this exemption was set to expire on May 31, 2026. The move aims to support domestic solar PV module manufacturers and their existing inventories. This policy supports India's goal of self-reliance in solar manufacturing.
