Scope of mapping TA programs in GRPV Sector in India: The study will highlight
TA programs with their key focus areas as well as current status

Market anchored activities

TA programs in last 4-5 In the phase of Rooftop
years Solar(RTS) sector evolution,
Key programs initiated independent support initiatives
after 2013 driven by BTI, TERI etc.

MNRE anchored programs

Programs directly anchored
by MNRE in Rooftop
Solar(RTS) space in India
Section 2

Key objectives of
the study

5
Objective : Explore and identify synergies among TA programs for mutual
cooperation and support
• Understand the TA programs implemented/ongoing in the GRPV segment
• Align the identified programs with the WB GRPV Program and categorize them across
the following three categories to maximize the impact

Revise Replicate Ramp

Review and analyse the
programs /activities
developed/implemented
and modify the same (as
necessary) for
implementation in 14
Partner States
Identify the programs that
can be replicated in 14
Partner States
Identify areas / programs
that are uninitiated and
develop them, implement
in 14 Partner States and
share with other agencies
for implementation

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success” –Henry Ford
Expected Outcome : Understanding key focus areas, target stakeholders, coverage
of various TA programs for synergies

Identify focus areas of

the existing TA
programs for Rooftop

India. Programs can be
functionally classified
