The PM Surya Ghar - Muft Bijli Yojana, approved by the Government of India on February 29, 2024, aims to enhance solar rooftop capacity and empower residential households to generate their own electricity. With an outlay of ₹75,021 crore, the scheme is set to be implemented until the fiscal year 2026-27.
The scheme offers a subsidy covering 60% of the solar unit cost for systems up to 2 kW capacity and 40% for systems between 2 to 3 kW capacity, capped at 3 kW. At current benchmark prices, this translates to a subsidy of ₹30,000 for a 1 kW system, ₹60,000 for a 2 kW system, and ₹78,000 for a 3 kW system or higher.
The scheme is administered by a National Programme Implementation Agency (NPIA) at the national level and State Implementation Agencies (SIAs) at the state level. Distribution Utilities (DISCOMs) or Power/Energy Departments serve as the SIAs in their respective states or union territories.
DISCOMs are required to implement several measures to promote rooftop solar installations, including the availability of net meters, timely inspection and commissioning of installations, vendor registration and management, and interdepartmental convergence for solarizing government buildings
Interested consumers should register on the National Portal by selecting their state and electricity distribution company.
The portal provides relevant information such as appropriate system sizes, a benefits calculator, and vendor ratings.
Consumers can choose the vendor and the make of the rooftop solar unit they wish to install.
