In an attempt to speed up transition to renewable energy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman promised 300 units of free electricity for houses that have set up solar panels on their rooftops.

The scheme, he said, will not only reduce the electricity bill of the poor and the middle class but will also make India self-reliant in the energy sector.
