Govt mandates all rooftop solar inverters under PM scheme to connect to national servers

Time of India6 days ago
New Delhi:
Rooftop solar inverters
installed under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) will be required to mandatorily connect to
national servers
and use machine-to-machine (M2M) SIM-based communication protocol, the
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
(MNRE) has said in a compliance order issued to all stakeholders.
The PMSG: MBY scheme targets installation of rooftop solar (RTS) systems in one crore households with a total capacity of 30 gigawatts (GW). The ministry has said integration of such a large number of RTS plants introduces grid stability and
cybersecurity challenges
, especially due to inverters transmitting data outside India or interacting with third-party servers.
'To ensure secure and reliable data transmission, all inverter communication devices/dongles/data loggers deployed under the scheme shall have Machine-to-Machine (M2M) SIM communication protocol,' MNRE said in the memorandum dated July 21.
The ministry added that inverter modules transmitting sensitive data to servers outside India threaten national energy sovereignty and increase the risk of unauthorised control. It further stated that third-party communication could be exploited to manipulate inverter operations, potentially disrupting power generation and grid operations.
'In this regard, multiple rounds of deliberation have been done with major stakeholders to implement a framework to track generation benefits of RTS installations as well as for the centralisation of RTS data on a National Software Platform hosted on servers located in India and managed by MNRE or any other Government Agency,' the ministry said.
The MNRE is finalising a vendor-neutral open communication protocol along with security guidelines for data communication to enable real-time monitoring and control of inverters through the National Portal.
Integration testing of inverter communication devices will commence from September 1, 2025. 'A separate communication in this regard shall be issued shortly,' the ministry said.
Further, all Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) listed for supplying inverters under the scheme 'shall mandatorily connect their inverters directly to National Servers and Software managed by MNRE or any other agency designated by MNRE, with effective from the date to be notified,' it said.

Tractor dispatches to see 4-7% growth in FY26

Agencies Representative image Tractor dispatches from companies to dealers are expected to grow at a moderate pace of 4-7 per cent in the current fiscal, as per rating agency Icra. The domestic industry saw volumes grow by 10.5 per cent year-on-year in June this year and 9.3 per cent in the April-June quarter compared with the same period last year. "Going forward, wholesale volumes are estimated to grow at a moderate pace of 4-7 per cent in FY2026. The projected growth is likely to be supported by above-normal monsoons, which are expected to boost agricultural production across key regions," Icra said in a statement. The rating agency said that despite global macroeconomic headwinds, commodity costs have eased, driven by a slowdown in global demand and a correction in Chinese steel prices. This trend is likely to support margins of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), it added. As a result, the credit profile of tractor manufacturers is expected to remain healthy, backed by rising volumes, low debt, and adequate cash and liquid investments, Icra said.

Tractor dispatches to grow 4–7% in FY26 on monsoon boost: ICRA

New Delhi: India's tractor industry is expected to grow at a moderate pace of 4–7 per cent in the current financial year, supported by forecasts of above-normal monsoons and steady rural demand, rating agency ICRA said in its latest outlook. The industry recorded a robust 10.5 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in June 2025 and 9.3 per cent during the April–June quarter, reflecting improving sentiment and favourable weather conditions. "Wholesale volumes are estimated to grow at a moderate pace of 4–7 per cent in FY2026. The projected growth is likely to be supported by above-normal monsoons, which are expected to boost agricultural production across key regions," ICRA stated. Factors attributing to the growth In addition to favourable weather, the easing of global commodity prices—especially steel—has offered cost relief to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Despite persisting macroeconomic uncertainties, a slowdown in global demand and a correction in Chinese steel prices have helped temper input costs, which is expected to support profit margins for tractor makers. ICRA noted that the financial health of tractor manufacturers remains stable, driven by improving volumes, low leverage, and comfortable liquidity positions. The combination of strong fundamentals and favourable external factors is likely to keep the credit profile of OEMs healthy through the fiscal. Industry players are now expected to continue investing in capacity expansion and technology upgrades, while maintaining fiscal prudence amid cautious optimism in the rural economy.>
