Imagine zero electricity bills for 300 units every month—that’s the promise of PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, now rolling out solar panels across one crore Indian rooftops. This joint central-UP government effort is accelerating the shift to renewables in provinces like Gautam Buddh Nagar.
UP NEDA officer Lavesh Sisodia explained the mechanics: online applications lead to discom approvals, panel setups, and net metering uploads. Subsidies flow straight to banks—30k for 1kW, 60k for 2kW, 78k for 3kW—ensuring no middlemen delays.
Extra perks include selling surplus power and accessing easy loans without guarantees at low rates. It’s designed for the common man, cutting costs while generating income.
Key requirements: Be Indian, have a solar-friendly roof, valid connection, no prior subsidies. Documents needed—Aadhaar, bill, bank details, contact info. Reach out to Greater Noida’s UP NEDA for hands-on help.
As implementation gains speed, experts predict widespread adoption will transform energy landscapes, curb pollution, and empower consumers. This isn’t just power—it’s independence harnessed from the sun.
