What is PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, and why does it matter for Rajasthan?
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Union rooftop-solar scheme that gives household support for residential solar installation, targets one crore households, and matters for Rajasthan because the state's high solar radiation makes distributed solar a practical energy-security issue.
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is the clean-energy scheme most likely to be tested as a number cluster.
According to PIB, the scheme is estimated to create around 17 lakh direct jobs in manufacturing, logistics, supply chains, sales, installation, operations and maintenance, and related services.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cabinet approval | The Union Cabinet approved it on 29 February 2024 |
| Total outlay | Rs.75,021 crore |
| Target | one crore rooftop-solar households |
| Benefit | up to 300 units of free electricity every month |
| Implementation link | household subsidy, vendor selection through a national portal, and local distribution-company readiness |
Rajasthan relevance
- High solar radiation in districts such as Jodhpur, Bikaner and Barmer makes rooftop adoption a state-level energy-security issue, not only a national subsidy item.
- Map association: rooftop systems in Jaipur and Jodhpur differ from utility-scale solar parks in Jaisalmer and Bikaner.
- Do not merge household subsidy with solar-park infrastructure.
Examinable cluster
- The examinable detail is not the subsidy alone.
- A question may combine:
- the Cabinet date,
- the one-crore household target,
- the 300-unit benefit,
- the electricity-distribution link.
