There is no mistake. The total tariff includes MNRE tariff + state govt./Utility tariff. There is god scope to implement concentrated solar thermal cell.

I will be much happier to be wrong than to be right. If possible, could you just paste out those lines for me, because somehow I couldn't find it. Thank you for that.
So, have you worked on CSP feasibility studies, yet?; ▶ Reply to This
