Consumers looking to reduce their household electricity expenses now have a valuable opportunity through the Prime Minister Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Under the scheme, homeowners can install rooftop solar systems and significantly lower their monthly power bills while also benefiting from government subsidies.
The subsidy support under the scheme will remain available until March 2027. Eligible households that install rooftop solar systems before the deadline can avail themselves of the prescribed financial assistance, making solar energy more affordable and accessible.
The initiative is gaining strong momentum across Madhya Pradesh, where more than 200,000 consumers have already registered under the scheme. The growing participation reflects increasing awareness about the economic and environmental benefits of solar power.
Apart from reducing electricity costs, the programme aims to encourage the adoption of clean and sustainable energy solutions, contributing to a greener future.
To enhance public outreach and provide reliable information about the scheme, the Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (MPUVNL) has introduced a WhatsApp chatbot named ‘Solar Chacha’. The chatbot serves as a one-stop digital platform where citizens can access authentic information related to rooftop solar installation, eligibility criteria, subsidy benefits, application procedures, and other important aspects of the scheme.
Households interested in installing a rooftop solar system can use the ‘Solar Chacha’ chatbot to receive step-by-step guidance throughout the process.
