PM Surya Ghar Yojana – Empowering Indian Homes with Free Solar Electricity
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a revolutionary solar subsidy scheme launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on February 15, 2024, to empower Indian households with clean, affordable solar energy. The scheme promotes the adoption of rooftop solar panel systems by offering direct financial subsidies for residential solar installations, reducing dependency on grid electricity and enabling long-term savings.
Under this transformative scheme, eligible households can receive up to 40% subsidy on solar panel system installation costs, making solar energy more accessible and affordable than ever. Targeting 1 crore homes across India, this initiative is expected to save the government over ₹75,000 crore annually in electricity subsidies and contribute significantly to India’s clean energy goals.
