## ANSWER

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

(a) to (e) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) in the country since February 2024. The scheme targets to achieve rooftop solar installations for one crore households in the residential sector by FY 2026-27. It is estimated to generate 1000 billion units through the solar capacity installed under the scheme.

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 targets are not envisaged in the scheme.

The solar panels can be installed  on shadow free roof/terrace/balcony or on top of elevated structures or as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BiPV) within the premises of the residential consumer of any type of house.

Under PMSG: MBY, as on 26.03.2025, a total of 48,40,100 applications have been registered on  the  National  Portal  of  the  scheme  and  10,81,792  households  have  benefitted  through installation of rooftop solar plants. The state-wise detail is given at Annexure-I . The districtwise detail for the state of Andhra Pradesh, including the districts covered under Baptala PC, is given at Annexure-II.
