A case in point is the state of Haryana<\/strong> <\/a>which is adjacent to the capital Delhi and home to one of the most affluent cities Gurgaon. The social and physical infrastructure is quite pathetic with poor roads, drainage and utilities. Expecting to grow rooftop solar when there basic facilities are in a poor state is to expect a miracle. Recently it came to light that it took 3 months for the distribution utility to finalize a vendor who would provide net meters. Due to the poor offtake of rooftop solar, the government took stock and that led to the government agencies blaming each other for the general sloth and poor movement. This is the favorite game played by the numerous government departments, agencies and undertakings. If some blame falls, then push it to someone else and after a few days the issue will die down as another issue is sure to come up. While ADB and World Bank provide hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to boost the rooftop solar<\/a>, the pathetic state of ground level government services makes growth in rooftop solar difficult.<\/p>\n Eight months since its official launch in Gurgaon, only 11\u00a0net meters\u00a0installed across the city are connected to the grid and are functioning, even as 54 applications continue to await approval.On being probed, the Haryana Renewal Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) officials blamed the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (DHBVN) for delaying the approval of the net meters.<\/p>\n![\"1236\"](\"http:\/\/www.greenworldinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/1236.jpg\")
