What happened
The Goa Energy Development Agency confirmed that solar subsidy applications submitted after March 31 cannot be processed until the government formally notifies the extension — a notification that remains somewhere in the file chain 100 days after the Chief Minister announced it in the assembly and 77 days after the scheme lapsed. Goa sits on India's western coast with roughly 300 sunny days per year and genuine solar potential, attributes Sawant has personally cited when speaking about energy. The Centre is simultaneously running an aggressive national rooftop solar campaign. In Goa, hundreds of applicants are caught in administrative limbo: the Chief Minister said yes in front of the assembly, the sun is ready, and someone still needs to sign and circulate the notification. GEDA officials have acknowledged this publicly. The notification is expected eventually.
