ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER
(SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK)
(a) to (e) The progress of the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) is being monitored
at different levels including through review meetings with various stakeholders across the country
from time to time.
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) is a demand-driven scheme wherein all
residential consumers in the country, 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.
Under the scheme, since its launch in February 2024, a total of 40,45,298 RTS systems have been
installed, benefitting 48,80,796 households, and an amount of Rs. 27,343.9 crore has been released
as Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to the beneficiaries across the country, as on 27.07.2026.
The State/UT-wise details are given in the Annexure.
To accelerate household RTS adoption and reduce implementation bottlenecks under the scheme,
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 the application in the National Portal,
eliminating the requirement of signing a separate agreement.
• 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.
