PM Surya Ghar Scheme Surpasses 50 Lakh Rooftop Solar Installations Nationwide
The PM Surya Ghar scheme has surpassed 50 lakh rooftop solar installations nationwide in just over two years, significantly accelerating clean energy adoption in India. Nearly 19 lakh households now receive zero electricity bills, and over 12 lakh earn income by selling surplus power. The program, backed by a Rs 75,021 crore outlay and direct subsidies of Rs 28,024 crore, has increased installation rates more than threefold recently, expanding access especially among lower-income groups through concessional loans and targeted models.
