Delhi CM Launches PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana Portal Under Seva Sankalp Abhiyan
The portal offers subsidies of up to Rs 1.56 lakh and aims to cover 2.3 lakh households with rooftop solar systems.
On Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched a registration portal for the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, enabling residents to apply for rooftop solar installations offering free electricity and income opportunities.
The initiative targets 2.30 lakh homes with free electricity up to 300 units monthly, supported by combined subsidies of up to 1.56 lakh from the Centre and Delhi government for 3 kW systems.
Delhi Power Minister Ashish Sood noted households can generate monthly income between ₹293 and ₹2,400, with these financial benefits alongside free electricity continuing for 25 years.
Describing the initiative as a "revolutionary step," Sood asserted it counters "misinformation and deceptive politics" regarding the government's commitment to power subsidies in Delhi.
Applications proceed on a "first-come, first-served" basis with authorized vendors maintaining systems for five years, while officials target 50% adoption among consumers with smaller rooftops.
