PM Surya Ghar Odisha: scheme overview
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana was launched to install rooftop solar in one crore households across India. Under it, the central government provides direct financial assistance for rooftop solar on homes and encourages low-interest loans. In Odisha, the scheme works through the state’s electricity distribution companies, which give feasibility approval, install net meters and inspect the plants.
The scheme is for residential consumers. Shops, offices, factories and institutions are not covered by this subsidy, although they have other benefits (see commercial solar in Odisha).
