In a major push toward clean and sustainable energy, the Government of India has launched the Solar Rooftop Subsidy Yojana 2025, also known as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this initiative aims to provide relief to poor and middle-class families burdened by rising electricity bills, while promoting the use of solar energy across the country.
Launched in February 2024, the scheme is operated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. It offers up to 40% subsidy for installing solar panels on residential rooftops, especially in remote and underserved areas. Families can receive 300 units of free electricity per month, significantly easing monthly expenses and encouraging energy independence.
Beyond household savings, the scheme is expected to generate thousands of jobs in solar panel installation, maintenance, and related services. With India’s abundant sunlight, solar energy presents a long-term solution to power shortages and environmental degradation caused by conventional electricity production.
To apply, citizens must be Indian nationals aged 18 or above. Priority is given to economically weaker sections and families facing irregular power supply. Required documents include Aadhaar card, electricity bill, residence proof, bank passbook, income certificate, and a declaration form. Applications are free and can be submitted online via the official portal.
The process is simple: register with your electricity consumer number and mobile, fill out the form, upload documents, and submit. A reference number will be provided to track your application status.
This scheme is proving to be a boon for millions, offering financial relief and contributing to India’s green energy revolution. If you meet the eligibility criteria, visit the official website today and become part of the clean energy movement.
