PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSYG)

---

The PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a landmark Government of India initiative designed to make solar rooftop systems financially accessible for residential households. Under this scheme, eligible homeowners can receive central financial assistance of up to ₹78,000 (depending on system capacity) to offset a significant portion of the solar installation cost.

---

In Odisha, this subsidy becomes even more attractive through additional state support. The Odisha government provides top-up incentives that, when combined with the central subsidy, can amount to approximately:

• ₹55,000 total subsidy for a 1 kW system
• ₹1,10,000 for a 2 kW system
• ₹1,38,000 for a 3 kW system

---

This combined support drastically lowers the upfront investment, making solar adoption more affordable for homeowners across the state.

PM-Kusum (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthan Mahabhiyan)

---

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) is a flagship Government of India program aimed at transforming the agricultural energy landscape by promoting solar-powered irrigation and decentralized solar power generation. The scheme supports farmers and rural stakeholders through multiple components, including:

• Stand-alone solar agricultural pumps,
• Solarization of grid-connected agricultural pumps, and
• Decentralized ground/stilt-mounted solar plants.

---

Under PM-KUSUM, beneficiaries receive central financial assistance of up to 30% of the benchmark cost of solar systems. In many states, including Odisha, state governments match this with an additional 30% subsidy, significantly lowering the net investment for farmers and agribusiness owners. Combined with accessible bank financing options that cover up to 30%, farmers often need to contribute only about 10% of the total project cost directly making solar irrigation technologies economically attractive.

---

PM-KUSUM enhances agricultural productivity by ensuring reliable daytime irrigation power, reducing dependence on diesel or erratic grid supply, and enabling surplus solar power to be sold back to utilities under appropriate tariffs. As a result, farmers benefit from lower operational costs, improved water security, and opportunities for additional income while contributing to sustainability and climate resilience.

As experienced renewable energy partners, we guide stakeholders through the full PM-KUSUM lifecycle from feasibility and subsidy documentation to system design, installation, and commissioning to help them unlock maximum economic and environmental benefits.

MNRE Rooftop Solar Programme – Accelerating Solar Adoption

---

The MNRE Rooftop Solar Programme, supported by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, is a cornerstone initiative to expand grid-connected rooftop solar capacity across the country and make clean energy more accessible and affordable for residential, commercial, and institutional consumers. The programme aims to achieve cumulative rooftop solar capacity targets and provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to eligible rooftop installations while ensuring technical quality and compliance through empaneled vendors and DISCOM coordination.

---

Under the current MNRE Phase-II scheme, residential consumers are eligible for subsidies on grid-connected rooftop solar systems, with financial support structured to lower upfront investment and deliver long-term energy cost savings. Typically, the subsidy is structured as 40% of system cost for capacities up to 3 kW and 20% for capacities between 3 kW and up to 10 kW, subject to capacity limits and standards.

For example, under this scheme:

• Up to 3 kW systems: 40% subsidy
• 3 kW to 10 kW systems: 20% subsidy on the additional capacity

---

This makes rooftop solar significantly more affordable and encourages widespread adoption. The programme also requires installation through DISCOM-empaneled vendors and compliance with technical and safety standards, ensuring quality assurance for consumers.

---

Across Odisha and other states, homeowners and organizations can apply for the subsidy via the National Portal for Rooftop Solar, where the process from application to subsidy credit is streamlined. The subsidy amount is directly credited to the customer’s bank account upon installation and verification.

---

As an experienced Solar solutions partner, we support customers in navigating the MNRE Rooftop Solar Programme, from feasibility assessment and documentation to installation, net-metering approvals, and commissioning ensuring a seamless solar adoption experience with maximum financial benefit.

ADEETIE Scheme – Driving Industrial Energy Efficiency

---

The Assistance in Deploying Energy Efficient Technologies in Industries & Establishments (ADEETIE) Scheme is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to accelerate the adoption of advanced energy-efficient technologies across industrial and commercial sectors. The scheme is structured to support MSMEs and industrial enterprises in deploying proven energy-saving technologies with financial and technical assistance.

---

With a ₹1,000-crore budgetary outlay and a phased roll-out across identified industrial clusters, ADEETIE offers end-to-end support including interest subvention on loans (5% for micro and small enterprises, 3% for medium enterprises), Investment Grade Energy Audits (IGEA), Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), and post-implementation Monitoring & Verification (M&V).

---

Participating enterprises stand to benefit from reduced financing costs and expert hand-holding throughout the energy efficiency project lifecycle, enabling them to lower operational energy consumption, improve power-to-product ratios, enhance competitiveness, and strengthen ESG performance. ADEETIE supports the implementation of technologies that can yield significant energy savings, typically helping MSMEs reduce energy intensity by substantial margins over time.
