Rajasthan has crossed 200,000 rooftop solar installations under the Prime Minister Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, according to reports citing officials from the state energy department.  

The state has installed 200,416 rooftop solar systems with a combined generation capacity of 771 MW since the scheme was introduced around 26 months ago. 

Data released by the department showed that April has recorded the highest monthly installation figures so far.  

During the month, 22,822 rooftop solar systems were added across the state. In February this year, the average monthly installation figure was around 14,000 systems. 

Subsidy Support Pushes Adoption 

Under the scheme, eligible consumers receive a subsidy of ₹78,000 from the central government for rooftop solar installations.  

The Rajasthan government is also providing an additional subsidy of ₹17,000 under the Chief Minister’s Free Electricity Scheme for households registered under the 150-unit free electricity benefit. 

The state government launched the free electricity scheme for domestic consumers in October 2025.  

According to the energy department, subsidy transfers exceeding ₹1,354 crore have been made by the Centre to consumers in Rajasthan for rooftop solar installations.
