No subsidy for solar rooftops installed by unregistered vendors: KPDCL

Srinagar, Aug 19: Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) Monday advised its domestic consumers to approach empanelled solar PV vendors only for the installation of solar roof-tops under the PM Surya Ghar Scheme.

In a statement issued here, the KPDCL spokesman said that some consumers were being approached by solar vendors for SRTs who were not registered with KPDCL under the PM Surya Ghar Scheme.

“The list of empanelled vendors is available on the national portal of PM Surya Ghar with contact details, which can be accessed for choosing vendors of choice,” he said.

The spokesman said that those consumers who get their solar rooftops installed by vendors who are not empanelled with KPDCL would not be eligible for central or UT subsidy.

“KPDCL has been issuing advisories through its social media handles warning customers not to get deceived by unregistered vendors,” he said.
