    What is the procedure to get MNRE accreditation for a company ??
    Whether MNRE will go to a particular office and check their product ??

  2. Team Saurya says:

    Well getting accreditation for a company is an entirely different process. It will involve your company being registered for a certain number of years and a rating agency giving you a satisfactory rating. Please visit the MNRE website for details or contact us for consulting regarding that matter.
