## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF  STATE  FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK)

(a) to (d) Under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY), as on 26.03.2025, a total of 10,81,792 households have benefitted by installation of rooftop solar plants and an amount of Rs. 5297.05 crore has been disbursed as Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to 6,80,481 beneficiaries under the scheme. State/UT-wise detail is given at Annexure .

The total financial outlay under the PMSG: MBY is Rs. 75,021 crore targeting installation of rooftop solar in one crore households in the residential sector by FY 2026-27. The Budgetary Allocation at Revised Estimate stage is Rs 9278.43 crore for FY 2024-25. The scheme is open for  all  residential  consumers,  with  a  valid  consumer  account  number  from  an  electric distribution  utility  (i.e.  DISCOM)  across  the  country  and  therefore  state-wise  allocation  of funds is not envisaged in the scheme.

The PMSG: MBY was launched in February 2024 and soon after the launch of scheme, model code of conduct was imposed and the scheme guidelines were issued in June 2024 onwards.

Regular monitoring of the progress of the scheme including operational issues such as timely release of subsidy, on time inspections, ensuring vendor network availability, etc., are being carried out at various levels. Based on the feedback received during review meetings corrective steps are being taken from time to time.
