(a) to (d) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been implementing the PM
Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) since February 2024, aiming to install rooftop solar
(RTS) systems in one crore residential households across the country by FY 2026–27 with total
financial outlay of Rs. 75021 Cr.
The PMSG: MBY is a demand-driven scheme wherein all residential consumers in the country,
including in the Sonipat and Hisar Lok Sabha Constituencies, having a grid-connected electricity
connection with the local DISCOM, can avail the benefits of the scheme, for installation of RTS
systems by applying on the National Portal (www.pmsuryaghar.gov.in) of the scheme.
The details of applications received, rooftop solar plants installed along with subsidy disbursed since
the launch of the scheme in the districts of Haryana, covering Sonipat and Hisar Lok Sabha
Constituencies, are given below:Subsidy

Total 36445 18575 23626 119.79
To increase the installation rate and promote adoption of the scheme across the country, including
the state of Haryana, the Ministry has taken the following measures:
• Online process from application to disbursal of subsidy directly into the bank account of
the residential consumer through the National Portal.
• Availability of collateral-free loan from nationalized banks at a concessional interest rate
of repo-rate plus 50 bps, i.e., 5.75% per annum for the present, with a tenure of 10 years.
• Simplified the regulatory approval process by waiving technical feasibility requirement
and introducing auto load enhancement upto 10 kW.
• Net metering agreement has been made part of application in the National Portal.
• Simplified process for registration of vendors to ensure sufficient and qualified vendors
are available.
• Capacity building and training programmes being conducted for creating skilled
manpower.
• Creating awareness about the scheme, through awareness and outreach program such as
print advertising in leading newspapers, TV commercials campaigns, Radio campaigns
across FM stations including regional channels, etc., in the country.
• Regular monitoring of the progress of the scheme at different levels including with
states/DISCOMs.
• Conducting regional review meetings from time to time.
• Established grievance redressal mechanism for timely resolution of grievances. A Call
Centre with telephone number 15555 is operational in 12 languages.
Further, MNRE and REC ltd., as the National Programme Implementing Agency (NPIA), for PMSG:
MBY, work in close coordination with all the DISCOMs, for effective implementation of the scheme.
