Prime Minister Narendra Modi posts, “To further sustainable development and people’s well-being, we are launching the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. This project, with an investment of over Rs. 75,000 crores, aims to light up 1 crore households by providing up to 300 units of free electricity every month.

All stakeholders will be integrated into a National Online Portal which will further convenience. To popularise this scheme at the grassroots, Urban Local Bodies and Panchayats shall be incentivized to promote rooftop solar systems in their jurisdictions. At the same time, the scheme will lead to more income, lower power bills, and employment generation for people. Let’s boost solar power and sustainable progress.
