Government Revises PM Surya Ghar Scheme to Link Support with Solar Generation and Performance
The government is revising the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana to focus on actual electricity generation and system performance rather than just rooftop solar installations. Proposed changes include generation guarantees, AI-based quality checks, and differentiated financial support based on income and location. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is also enhancing data tracking by requiring inverter-level daily generation reporting. Meanwhile, over 2.23 lakh rooftop solar units have been installed under the Utility-Led Aggregation model, targeting low-income households, with plans to expand installations nationwide by 2027.
