The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has integrated the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) portal with the National Portal of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. The initiative is aimed at curbing the issue of duplicate serial numbers and ensuring the use of domestically produced solar components.
The scheme which targets the installation of one crore rooftop solar systems across residential households in India, mandates the use of solar modules manufactured in India using Indian-made solar cells in accordance with the DCR policy.
MNRE has directed all stakeholders to upload installation data from January 1, 2024, onwards to this portal. Starting December 1, 2024, any solar PV module whose DCR credentials cannot be verified on the portal will be deemed ineligible under major government schemes, including the CPSU Scheme Phase-II, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and PM-KUSUM.
This integration is expected to strengthen compliance with DCR norms and bolster the government’s push for self-reliance in the renewable energy sector.
