    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Feb 5 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Axis Bank has announced the launch of Rooftop Solar Finance, a dedicated financing product aimed at helping micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) shift to solar energy and manage energy costs through greater self-reliance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Loan Structure and Eligibility&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Under the scheme, MSMEs can access collateral-free loans ranging from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 2 crore, with repayment tenures between four and seven years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The bank said the structure is designed to enable investment in rooftop solar installations without straining balance sheets or working capital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Cost and Energy Benefits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;By supporting the installation of self-owned rooftop solar systems, the initiative is expected to help MSMEs reduce operating expenses, improve predictability of energy costs and strengthen long-term financial stability. The programme also aligns with broader efforts to promote clean energy adoption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Nationwide Availability and Partnerships&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The product is being rolled out across India through Axis Banks branch network. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;To support implementation, the bank has partnered with select original equipment manufacturers to ensure quality standards. It has also tied up with a technology partner to provide MSMEs with greater transparency on system costs, expected savings and project execution timelines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
