PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
India's flagship residential rooftop solar subsidy scheme — up to ₹78,000 direct bank transfer, plus up to 300 free electricity units every month.
What is PM Surya Ghar Yojana?
Launched by the Government of India in February 2024, PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a central scheme under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) that provides a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) subsidy to households installing grid-connected rooftop solar. The scheme targets one crore (10 million) homes and is designed to make solar affordable while cutting household electricity bills — potentially to zero for many families.
Central Subsidy Amount by System Size
| System Size | Central Subsidy (PM Surya Ghar) |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 |
| 3 kW or above | ₹78,000 (maximum, capped) |
Note: The central subsidy is capped at ₹78,000 regardless of actual system size beyond 3 kW.
🎉 Extra Subsidy for Uttar Pradesh Residents
If you live in Uttar Pradesh, you don't stop at the central subsidy. The state government, through UPNEDA (Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency), adds a further top-up subsidy on top of the central PM Surya Ghar amount — making UP one of the most attractive states in India for rooftop solar.
| System Size | UP State Subsidy (UPNEDA) |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹15,000 |
| 2 kW or above | ₹30,000 (flat) |
Combined Subsidy (Central + UP State)
| System Size | Central | UP State | Combined Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 | ₹15,000 | ₹45,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 | ₹30,000 | ₹90,000 |
| 3 kW or above | ₹78,000 | ₹30,000 | ₹1,08,000 |

What You Get
Direct Bank Transfer
Subsidy is credited directly to your bank account, typically 30-45 days after DISCOM commissioning — not an upfront discount.
Up to 300 Free Units/Month
A correctly sized 3kW system can generate enough to cover up to 300 units of monthly consumption.
Concessional Loans
Beneficiaries are eligible for collateral-free bank loans at concessional interest rates.

- You must be an Indian citizen with a residential electricity connection.
- Your sanctioned load must typically be 10 kW or below for standard residential subsidy.
