Building a sustainable economy: Green financing for solar micro, small, and medium enterprises - Economic & Political Weekly - 60(41), Oct 11, 2025: p.14-17

The challenges and opportunities in financing solar energy enterprises in India are examined, with a particular focus on micro, small, and medium enterprises. The government initiatives and green financing mechanisms are reviewed, and survey-based insights are presented. Easy access to microcredits enables the small solar enterprises to purchase raw materials and machinery, set up manufacturing units, and focus on scalability. Despite maintaining financial discipline, they face barriers, such as poor creditworthiness, small loan sizes, high perceived risks, and a lack of awareness of the availability of finance. – Reproduced
