PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana: Free Solar Home Electricity Scheme
Objective
Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the government will provide 300 units of free electricity every month to one crore households. This will save families approximately ₹15,000 crores annually. Additionally, households can sell any surplus power to their local electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) to earn extra income. The scheme also aims to promote green energy, increase electric vehicle charging facilities, and create new job opportunities in solar panel supply, installation, and maintenance.
Key Features of the Scheme
Beneficiaries will receive substantial bank loan subsidies and direct subsidies credited to their bank accounts, ensuring no financial burden.
A national online portal will streamline the application and execution process, connecting all stakeholders including customers, urban local bodies, and financial institutions.
Local bodies, like panchayats and urban municipalities, will be encouraged to install rooftop solar systems.
The scheme will reduce electricity bills, generate employment, and significantly cut carbon emissions, promoting a greener and more sustainable environment.
