Gurugram, India, September 22, 2025 — ReNew Energy Global Plc (“ReNew”), a leading decarbonization
solutions company, today announced price
reduction in its solar modules and cells, following the Government of India’s
landmark decision to lower GST on renewable energy equipment from 12% to 5%,
effective September 22, 2025. This development will translate into substantial
savings for utility-scale developers, rooftop solar consumers, and farmers
under flagship schemes like PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and PM-KUSUM,
further democratizing access to clean energy.
Speaking on the announcement, Sumant Sinha,
Founder, Chairman and CEO of ReNew, said, "This GST reduction is a landmark step that will accelerate India’s
clean energy transition. At ReNew, we are proud to pass on the full benefit to
our customers, reaffirming our commitment to affordability, scale, and
sustainability. As India’s largest integrated solar manufacturer, we believe
this move will catalyze adoption across segments, from large-scale developers
to rooftop consumers and farmers."
The GST reduction will translate into direct
savings of up to ₹10 lakhs per megawatt (MW) for non-DCR modules and up to ₹15
lakhs per MW for DCR modules for utility-scale projects.
For residential consumers under the PM Surya
Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the cost of a typical 3 kW rooftop solar system is
expected to drop by up to ₹5,000, while farmers installing 5 HP solar pumps
under PM-KUSUM will benefit from up to ₹12,000 reduction. These savings are in
addition to existing subsidies and financing support, making clean energy more
affordable and accessible to millions. As of September 2025, PM Surya Ghar Muft
Bijli Yojana has powered over 20 lakh homes. Meanwhile, PM-KUSUM has achieved
over 10 lakh solar pump installations or solarization nationwide as of April 1,
2025, with a record number of new installations in FY 2024–25. The GST
reduction will act as a powerful accelerator for both schemes, helping India
reach its target of 1 crore solar-powered households by 2026–27 and expanding
solar access across urban and rural communities.
ReNew manufactures approximately 21,000 solar
modules and 61,000 solar cells daily. ReNew’s vertically integrated manufacturing
capabilities spanning cells, modules, and advanced solar components position it
