- Jharkhand State: Successful Subsidy Programme in Eastern India- The Indian state government of Jharkhand has already reached its goal of subsidising 4,000 solar water heating systems in 2009. The state offers 105 INR/litre for solar water heaters with flat plate collectors and 80 INR/litre for systems with vacuum tube collectors. “The installation of such a system typically costs around 150 INR/litre for flat plate collector systems and 115 INR/litre for vacuum tube collector systems,” explains Bimalendu Rai, who is responsible for the programme at the Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Agency (JREDA).
