India's commercial and industrial sector is under relentless pressure rising electricity tariffs, unpredictable grid supply, and tightening sustainability mandates. The answer is solar. But not every business wants to own the system. That is why Powermore offers India's most trusted Solar Opex model the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Under the PPA model, Powermore finances, designs, installs, owns, and operates the solar power plant on your rooftop or land. You simply purchase the solar energy generated at a pre-agreed, below-market tariff with zero capital expenditure, zero operational headache, and zero risk.
What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) — also called the OPEX or RESCO model is a long-term contract where a third-party developer (Powermore) finances, installs, owns, and operates the solar plant on your premises. You pay only for the units of solar power generated, at a pre-agreed tariff. The grid remains your backup.
This is the model that India's most forward-thinking businesses — from automobile manufacturers in Pune to textile mills in Surat are rapidly adopting to future-proof their energy costs.

Regulatory & Financial Landscape in India
India's regulatory framework strongly supports the PPA model. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), and respective State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) have established clear guidelines for captive and third-party PPA structures. Net metering policies across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh make rooftop solar under PPA financially compelling.
With India targeting 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 and the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana driving distributed solar, the PPA model is at the heart of India's energy transition story.

Indicative Savings Snapshot
A 500 kWp rooftop solar system under PPA for an industrial unit in Maharashtra paying ₹9/unit from MSEDCL can access solar power at ₹5.50–6.00/unit generating savings of ₹30–40 lakhs annually with zero investment. Over 20 years, that is ₹6–8 crore in cumulative electricity savings.
