That’s a very good question, and we will try and answer it as comprehensively as possible here. Corporate PPAs in India have typically been at a 50 percent or higher premium over bids at government backed tenders, and for good reasons. Right at the top is the matter of scale. The low rates of Rs 2.50 and around that you see for solar tenders are for capacities that typically are in the 100 MW plus range, at the least.
Secondly, government tenders come with significant flexibility on location, something most corporate PPAs don’t. In a majority of cases, particularly large solar rooftops, the installations have to be in the same state or even corporate plant site. That impacts generation.
Then we have the issue of long term government PPAs versus corporate ratings, which affects cost of funds for the developer. Funds are typically raised for shorter tenures, at higher costs in case of corporate PPAs.
Finally, project timelines in government tenders are 24 months or higher, allowing developers to make the most of buying opportunities for key inputs like modules. In corporate deals, project timelines can be as little as 6 months, forcing developers to move faster with limited flexibility.
All of these add up to a significantly higher cost, and this is before taking into account multiple charges at state level open access regulations, versus supplying to discoms directly.

The tariffs are likely to increase the overall cost of solar installations in the U.S., potentially slowing down some planned projects and reducing demand. However, they may also make U.S. domestic producers more competitive.. For more details https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/trump-tarifRead more

First of all be clear of the fact that the benefits of PM Surya Ghar is given only for residential properties and not for offices. In caee you want to install rooftop solar at your office, there will be no govt financial support. The first process usually is your application through National Rooftop Portal where you have fill all the details. Soon after you fill the details, the online file goes to the local discoms seeking Technical Feasibility Report (TFR). Usually the discoms grant TFR within 15 days. Only after getting the TFR, you can ask the vendors to install the rooftop solar. Even after installation, your need discom permissions and approvals to commission it.

The major advancement in technology is the progression on more efficient solar modules. Earlier India saw polycrystalline modules which had lesser efficiencies. Later major solar module makers started making mono-PERC technology based solar modules which could offer effiiencies of around 21%. Now the country is slowly moving to TOPCon technology which offers efficiencies higher than mono-PERC. Another advancement had been was in bringing more Wp panels. Now India has panels having a maximum Wp power of upto 680Wp. Higher Wp power means that to generate the same amount of solar power we would need lesser number of panels as a single higher power panel can produce enough power.
