PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana

Launched in February 2024, PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is the Government of India's flagship rooftop solar scheme, targeting one crore (1 crore = 10 million) households nationwide. It gives homeowners a one-time subsidy — paid directly into their bank account — for installing rooftop solar, along with up to 300 units of free electricity every month through net metering.

System Size
1 kW
₹30,000 subsidy
System Size
2 kW
₹60,000 subsidy
System Size
3 kW+
₹78,000 subsidy (max)

Subsidy is calculated as ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW, plus ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW — capped at ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW or larger. Some special-category states offer a higher top-up.

PM-KUSUM Yojana (For Farmers)

PM-KUSUM — Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan — is the central government scheme that helps farmers move away from costly diesel and grid-dependent irrigation to solar-powered pumps. It runs in three components, but the one most relevant to individual farmers is Component B: subsidy on new standalone solar irrigation pumps.

Component A
Solar Power Plants

Small solar plants (500 kW–2 MW) on farmland — sell power to the grid for extra income.

Component B
Standalone Solar Pumps

New off-grid solar irrigation pumps, 3 HP to 7.5 HP (up to 10 HP in some states).

Component C
Solarisation of Existing Pumps

Convert your existing diesel/electric pump connection to run on solar.

Subsidy Structure

  • ✓ 30% central government subsidy
  • ✓ Additional state subsidy — typically 30% (varies by state)
  • ✓ Farmer share is often as low as 10%, with the remainder available as a bank loan
  • ✓ Combined subsidy can reach up to ~60% (higher in NE & hilly states)

Exact state-topup percentages are set by each state's renewable energy nodal agency and can change — we confirm the current Bihar rates for you before you apply.

Who Can Apply

  • ✓ Individual farmers & farmer groups
  • ✓ Cooperatives & panchayats owning agricultural land
  • ✓ Farmers currently using diesel pumps or with no reliable grid power

From eligibility check to MNRE-approved pump installation — we manage your entire PM-KUSUM application.
