The PM Surya Ghar initiative is set to illuminate one crore Indian homes with free electricity through rooftop solar, courtesy of a robust subsidy and loan framework. Uttar Pradesh’s execution underscores India’s renewable ambitions.
Project Officer Lavesh Kumar Sisodia of Gautam Buddh Nagar’s UP NEDA explained how UPNEDA in Lucknow orchestrates the scheme, delivering 300 units free monthly and grid-sale opportunities for extra income.
Financial incentives shine bright: Direct bank transfers of Rs 30,000 (1kW), Rs 60,000 (2kW), or Rs 78,000 (3kW) post-installation formalities. The portal-driven process—register, discom approve, set up panels, submit net meter/bank uploads—guarantees efficiency.
Unsecured loans at 7% for 3kW plants remove entry barriers. Criteria include Indian nationality, suitable rooftops, valid meters, no prior claims. Prep with Aadhaar, latest bill, passbook, mobile/email.
