- Solar Mini Grids: Solar mini-grids will be set up for clustered households in PVTG areas, providing appliances like LED bulbs and fans, with CFA support of ₹50,000 per household.
- Solarisation of Multi-Purpose Centers (MPC): Off-grid solar power packs will be installed at MPCs without grid access, with CFA support of ₹1 lakh per center to cover the entire system cost.
- Budget: The total budget for the initiative is Rs 515 crore, which will cover the installation of SHLS, solar mini-grids, and solarisation of MPCs in PVTG areas.
