PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana
Empowering 1 Crore Households with Free Solar Electricity
Why is the PM Surya Ghar Scheme Important?
Launched by the Government of India, the PM Surya Ghar scheme is a landmark initiative aimed at promoting renewable energy at the grassroots level. Its primary goal is to install rooftop solar systems for one crore households, providing them with up to 300 units of free electricity every month. This scheme is a crucial step towards achieving India's climate goals, reducing the carbon footprint of the nation, and ensuring energy security for its citizens.
How Will You Benefit?
Free Electricity & Savings
Generate your own power and save significantly on electricity bills. Households can save up to ₹15,000 - ₹18,000 annually.
Earn by Selling Surplus Power
Sell any excess electricity generated by your system back to the grid (DISCOMs) and create an additional source of income.
EV Charging at Home
The surplus power can be used to conveniently charge your electric vehicle at home, promoting sustainable transport.
Contribute to a Greener Planet
By adopting solar, you directly contribute to reducing pollution and combating climate change for a sustainable future.
Subsidy Structure for Assam & Special Category States
The government provides substantial Central Financial Assistance (CFA) combined with state subsidies, making rooftop solar highly affordable. As Assam is a special category state, residents receive enhanced benefits.
