Chief Minister Omar Abdullah informed the Legislative Assembly today that ₹3.80 crore has been disbursed as a UT subsidy to 4,288 consumers of Kashmir and Jammu Power Distribution Companies under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that the Chief Minister was responding to a question raised by legislator Shakti Raj Parihar regarding the scheme. The Chief Minister, who also holds the Power portfolio, said that ₹1.80 crore has been disbursed to the first 2,538 consumers of Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited (KPDCL) in accordance with the Central Financial Assistance (CFA). Similarly, ₹2 crore has been disbursed to 2,235 beneficiaries of Jammu Power Development Corporation Limited (JPDCL) under the scheme. The CM informed the House that under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the subsidy component is primarily borne by the Government of India through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, with an additional subsidy component provided by the UT. The Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is provided to residential consumers installing rooftop solar systems at ₹33,000 per kW for the first 2 kW of installed capacity and ₹19,800 per kW for the next 1 kW, taking the total maximum subsidy to ₹85,800 for systems up to 3 kW. In addition, the UT provides a subsidy of ₹3,000 per kW—₹6,000 for 2 kW and up to ₹9,000 for 3 kW (capped at 3 kW)—taking the total subsidy up to ₹94,800 for a 3 kW system. The Chief Minister further stated that delays, wherever applicable, in the release of the UT’s share are primarily due to the verification of beneficiary installations, scrutiny of supporting documents, and integration of subsidy disbursement through the national portal.
