Those measures help reduce the cost of projects for on- and off-grid applications, and are designed to target the important issue of consumer affordability. For example, Bhutan is extending capital subsidies and grants to finance small-scale individual and community investments in renewable energy projects (Ministry of Economic Affairs, 2013). India has provided excise duty exemptions for ofF-grid rooftop solar projects, while foreign investors are exempted from income tax for 15 years for solar power projects in Bangladesh (Bangladesh, Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, 2013).
