Tata Power Solar and Union Bank renew partnership for expanded solar financing

To offer financing solutions for residential customers, in line with the Government’s PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, as well as for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.

Tata Power Solar Systems Limited (TPSSL), a leading solar company in India and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), has announced the renewal and expansion of its partnership with Union Bank of India (UBI) to offer financing solutions for residential customers, in line with the Government’s PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, as well as for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.

With loan limits extended up to ₹15 lakh for residential and ₹16 crore for C&I customers, the renewed scheme plans to provide financing up to 80 percent and 85 percent for the respective categories. Notably, both categories will have access to collateral-free financing options, making the transition to solar energy more accessible. The loan tenure has also been extended up to 10 years, allowing households and businesses ample time for repayment.

This renewed three-year agreement includes both residential and C&I segments compared to the earlier one which focused only on the C&I segment and resulted in the financing of approximately ₹165 crore for the segment.
