PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana — Delhi-NCR Guide

What is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?

Launched in February 2024, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India scheme to install rooftop solar on 1 crore homes and supply up to 300 units of free electricity every month. Households get a direct Central Financial Assistance (CFA) subsidy credited to their bank account once the system is commissioned.

What you'll save in Delhi-NCR

A typical 3 kW rooftop system in Delhi or Noida generates about 360–400 units a month — enough to cover most middle-class households. After the ₹78,000 subsidy, payback is usually 4–5 years, and the panels keep producing for 25+ years. That's lifetime savings of ₹8–12 lakh on electricity.
