In the latest move, the FAME-II subsidy rates have been revised in India. The new subsidy is much lower than the previous rates. As per the details, the subsidy rates have decreased to Rs 10,000 from Rs 15,000 per kWh. Also, the maximum cap on the subsidy has been reduced from 40 per cent to 15 per cent on the MRP.
