CPSU Scheme
Under the second phase of the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme—overseen by the India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)—any state-run power producer is eligible for viability gap funding (VGF) assistance if it sets up a solar PV power plant for self-use or use by government entities, either directly or through DISCOMs.
The scheme mandates use of solar PV cells and modules manufactured domestically as per the specifications and testing requirements fixed by MNRE.
