The lowest project cost for the CAPEX model and tariff for the RESCO model will be applicable for the issuance of central financial assistance (CFA) under this open category capacity of 5 MW. The allocation of 5 MW of solar projects will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. The applicable subsidy will be disbursed directly to the solar power developer.</p>
