1. Peak Shaving Over Rate Cuts: Instead of slashing buyback rates, incentivize peak shaving—allowing solar users to offset peak grid demand. This reduces strain on infrastructure and aligns with industrial needs, all while maintaining a lucrative net metering framework.
2. Fixed Fee, Tax Relief: Impose a per-kW processing fee per file—say, Rs 5,000–10,000—linked to system size, but exempt net metering users from PTV tax and surcharges. This offsets fixed costs without punishing adoption.
3. Streamlined Governance: Crack down on departmental corruption—where legit applications languish outside gazetted times unless bribes are paid—by digitizing approvals and penalizing delays. Savings from black-market meters could fund grid upgrades.
