The interim union budget for the fiscal year 2024-2025 presented in the parliament on 1st February 2024 by the Hon’ble Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Government of India notably promotes rooftop solar installations under the rooftop solarization scheme, a step towards boosting the adoption of sustainable and clean energy systems across a broad spectrum of society. Certainly, this would contribute to the achievement of country’s climate goals and solidify the vision towards 2070. Also, aligned with the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) and "Housing for All' scheme, the budget intends to provide affordable housing to the marginalized and vulnerable sections of society in the next five years. This is a great opportunity for the construction and building industry and allied sectors to reflect, create and advance a positive impact on the environment and society through sustainable transformation.
