As commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers, particularly micro, small, and medium enterprises, seek to transition to sustainable energy solutions, the upfront capital required to set up projects is often a key barrier. However, banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are increasingly addressing this challenge by offering customized financing solutions for the C&I segment. Shifting to solar can provide C&I consumers with a competitive edge by lowering power costs, improving operating margins, and enabling long-term tariff certainty. It can also help MSMEs access international markets more easily and obtain green certifications.
