The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a ₹75,021-crore package for the “PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana” to promote rooftop solar installations in India. “At current benchmark prices, this will mean ₹30,000 subsidy for 1 kW system, ₹60,000 for 2 kW systems and ₹78,000 for 3 kW systems or higher,” a press statement from the Power Ministry noted. For the remaining costs, households will be able to “access collateral-free low-interest loan products of around 7% at present for installation of residential RTS systems up to 3 kW,” the release noted.
