Net metering up to 500 kW
Under HERC's 2021 rooftop regulations, net metering is allowed up to 500 kW or your sanctioned load / contract demand, whichever is lower. Larger plants can use gross metering up to contract demand. Consumers drawing open-access power cannot also net-meter.
Source: HERC Rooftop Solar Regulations 2021How surplus units are settled
Since HERC's 2nd Amendment (October 2025), surplus credits carry forward within a 1 October – 30 September settlement period. Credits left at the end are bought by the DISCOM at 90% of the feed-in tariff, so size the plant for daytime self-consumption.

HT industrial supply (above 50 kW) pays ₹6.95/kVAh at 11 kV and ₹6.85/kVAh at 33 kV, plus ₹290/kVA/month of contract demand. Electricity duty, municipal tax and FSA are extra. There is no solar-hour rebate in the FY2026-27 schedule.

UHBVN runs its own rooftop portal (solarconnection.uhbvn.org.in). HERC rules require feasibility within 15 days and a Letter of Approval within 22 days; plants above 20 kWp also need a safety certificate from the Chief Electrical Inspector before commissioning.
Source: UHBVN rooftop solar FAQGreen open access from 100 kW
Consumers with 100 kW or more of contract demand can buy green power through open access; since 2025 several connections in the same operation division can be clubbed to reach 100 kW. FY2026-27 HT charges include ₹0.73/kWh wheeling and ₹1.45/kWh cross-subsidy surcharge.

Payback on a 100 kW rooftop in Bahadurgarh
| Item | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| System cost | ₹23,00,000 | 100 kW × ₹23,000/kW, ex-GST (Sun Wave reference) |
| Year-1 generation | 1,20,000 units | 100 kW × 1,200 kWh/kWp/year (Delhi Solar Policy, 2nd Amendment 2026) |
| Grid energy charge avoided | ₹6.95/kVAh | HT industrial energy charge at 11 kV, FY2026-27 (HERC FY2026-27 order (DHBVN circular D-06/2026)) |
| Year-1 saving | ≈ ₹8,34,000 | 1,20,000 × ₹6.95 |
| Simple payback | ≈ 2.8 years | System cost ÷ year-1 saving |
Illustrative only. Assumes the factory uses all solar output during working hours and counts the energy charge alone, treating one kVAh as one kWh (unity power factor). It excludes GST, demand charges, surcharges, panel degradation, O&M and financing. Your actual payback depends on your tariff category, load profile and roof.

Local context
What Bahadurgarh factories should know
Bahadurgarh is served by UHBVN — its Jhajjar operation circle has a dedicated XEN Bahadurgarh division — so applications go to UHBVN's portal, not DHBVN's.
Source: UHBVN Jhajjar contact directoryFootwear industrialists named steep electricity tariffs as a major challenge alongside GST and labour shortages (July 2025), and the Footwear Park is full, so existing roofs are the main space for new energy capacity.
Source: The Tribune, Jul 2025The local chamber says Bahadurgarh has over 9,000 industrial units; in March 2026 a cap on daily PNG supply, with over-drawal billed at higher rates, showed units' exposure to fuel-cost shocks.
Source: The Tribune, Mar 2026Bahadurgarh (Jhajjar district) is in the National Capital Region, so CAQM Direction No. 76 applies: diesel DG sets may run only as backup, and older sets of 41–800 kW need dual-fuel kits or certified emission-control retrofits. Rooftop solar cuts the daytime units a DG set or the grid has to supply.

Is Bahadurgarh under UHBVN or DHBVN for solar net metering?
UHBVN. Bahadurgarh falls under UHBVN's Jhajjar operation circle, which has its own XEN Bahadurgarh division. File the application on UHBVN's portal, solarconnection.uhbvn.org.in, not the DHBVN portal.
Does rooftop solar suit a footwear factory in Bahadurgarh?
Yes, usually. Footwear units mostly run daytime cutting, stitching and moulding, which matches solar generation, so most output is used on site. Sun Wave's reference price is ₹23,000/kW at 100 kW and ₹22,000/kW at 500 kW, excluding GST and final after a site survey.
What is the net-metering limit for a factory in MIE Bahadurgarh?
Under HERC's 2021 regulations, net metering is allowed up to 500 kW or your sanctioned load / contract demand, whichever is lower. The plant also cannot exceed sanctioned load (LT) or contract demand (HT).
What are the DG set rules for Bahadurgarh factories?
Jhajjar district is in the NCR, so CAQM Direction 76 allows DG sets only as backup. Older diesel sets must run dual-fuel or with certified emission-control retrofits unless they meet the CPCB-IV+ standard up to 800 kW or run on gas.
