Feb 13, New Delhi – India is powering its future, right from the rooftops. The dream of delivering clean, affordable, and reliable energy to every household in India now appears to be turning into reality.
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, or the Free Electricity Scheme, is rapidly becoming a game-changer in India's clean energy push. Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2024, the initiative is not limited to electricity generation alone; it is a major step toward savings, environmental protection, and self-reliance. Within just two years of its implementation, positive results are emerging across the country.
In the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, over 29,000 consumers across 16 districts have registered under the scheme so far. They feel it is bringing real change to people's lives at the grassroots level.
Yashovardhan Srivastava, a tax consultant from Bhopal, said that under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, they installed a solar panel at their home three years ago.
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 13, 2024, to provide clean, affordable solar energy to Indian households by installing rooftop solar panels. The scheme aims to supply up to 300 units of free electricity monthly to beneficiaries, reduce power bills, and promote environmental sustainability. It supports energy self-reliance and is transforming lives with significant grassroots adoption.
