Prime Minister Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana: Dreams of Solar Energy Blossoming
Electricity bill halved, state government giving additional grant of 30 thousand
Raipur. June 29, 2025. The Prime Minister Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana is proving beneficial for the people of Bilaspur district, just like the rest of the country. This is not only promoting environmental protection, but also providing relief from the heavy electricity bills in this era of inflation. Mrs. Anjali Singh, a resident of Ashok Nagar, Bilaspur, has installed a three-kilowatt solar plant on her roof. She said that the total cost of this solar plant was one lakh 85 thousand rupees. She also received a subsidy of 78 thousand rupees from the central government.
Mrs. Anjali Singh said that before installing the solar plant, her monthly electricity bill used to be between two and a half to three thousand rupees. But now her electricity bill has been halved. This has given her significant financial relief. She said that the visionary thinking of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is contributing significantly to the promotion of renewable energy and the conservation of natural resources. In the Prime Minister Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the state government is now working with the central government to benefit consumers.
The cabinet of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has decided to give an additional grant of up to 30 thousand rupees in the Prime Minister Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana to promote renewable energy and provide relief to electricity consumers. Mrs. Anjali Singh of Bilaspur said that earlier there were difficulties when the electricity went off, and she had to complain repeatedly. Now, she is free from these problems. She said that the set-up was installed within ten days of applying. Thanking the government for the scheme, she said that the maintenance of the solar system is very simple and there is no additional expense. She suggested that everyone should join this scheme, calling it useful for every person.
Subsidy being received from the government, can register through website or app
Under the Prime Minister Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the installed solar roof-top plant is connected to the electricity grid through net metering. Consumers can produce more electricity than they need and supply it to the grid, which not only makes their electricity bill zero but also earns them additional income. Under the scheme, a subsidy of 30 thousand rupees from the central government and 15 thousand rupees from the state government, i.e., a total of 45 thousand rupees, is received for installing a one-kilowatt solar plant. On two kilowatts, 60 thousand rupees from the central government and 30 thousand rupees from the state government, and on installing a three-kilowatt solar panel, 78 thousand rupees from the central government and 30 thousand rupees from the state government, i.e., a total of one lakh eight thousand rupees, will be received.
