(a) & (b) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) across the country including in the state of West Bengal since February  2024.  The  scheme  targets  to  achieve  rooftop  solar  installations  in  one  crore households in the residential sector by FY 2026-27 with an outlay of Rs 75,021 crore.

For individual households, the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) available under PMSG: MBY is Rs. 30,000/- per kWp for the first 2 kWp and Rs. 18,000/- per kWp for the additional one kWp. The subsidy is capped at 3 kWp rooftop solar plant capacity for individual household. For Group Housing Societies/ Residential Welfare Associations (GHS/RWA) the CFA is Rs. 18,000/- per kWp with rooftop solar plant capacity limit of 500 kWp.

In case of special category states/UTs including Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Ladakh, States in the North East Region, UTs of A&N and Lakshadweep, the CFA is 10% higher. The  scheme  is  open  for  all  residential  consumers  across  the  country  including  for  the consumers  of  West  Bengal  state.  The  scheme  is  demand  driven  and  there  is  no  state-wise allocations  of  capacity/fund.  The  eligible  consumers  can  participate  in  the  scheme  through online portal www.pmsuryaghar.gov.in.
