PM Surya Ghar Yojana & Solar Subsidy in Delhi NCR
A simple guide to PM Surya Ghar Yojana, covering subsidies, documents, DISCOM process and application support across Delhi NCR, UP and Haryana.
Understanding PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a central government scheme, launched in February 2024, aimed at putting rooftop solar on one crore Indian households and cutting household electricity bills through net metering. It is implemented nationally through the National Portal in partnership with each state’s distribution company (DISCOM), which means the subsidy amount and application steps are broadly the same everywhere, but the DISCOM you deal with, net metering timelines and any additional state-level top-up differ by state.
For households in Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noidathe scheme runs through Uttar Pradesh’s DISCOMs; in Delhi it runs through BSES and Tata Power-DDL; and in Gurugram, Faridabad and the rest of Haryana it runs through DHBVN/UHBVN. ECO-REFORMERS handles the on-ground process for all three, from portal registration to final subsidy disbursal, and this page breaks down what to expect in each.
Households Considering Rooftop Solar
The scheme is aimed at residential rooftop solar adopters — independent houses, builder floors, DDA and society flats, and farmhouses — with an existing grid electricity connection. It applies equally to a 2BHK flat in Indirapuram, an independent house in Rohini, or a villa in Sushant Lok, Gurugram, though the exact roof-ownership and consent paperwork can vary between an independent house and an apartment in a society. Whether a specific household qualifies depends on current government criteria and your DISCOM’s technical feasibility check at the time of application.
General Eligibility Considerations
Eligibility criteria may include property ownership, roof suitability, and other conditions defined by the scheme. We recommend verifying current eligibility rules through official government sources before proceeding.
Indian Resident, Own Roof
Applicant should be an Indian citizen with a shadow-free roof they own or have clear consent to use.
Existing Electricity Connection
A valid domestic/residential connection with your local DISCOM (BSES, Tata Power-DDL, PVVNL, NPCL,
DHBVN or UHBVN) in your own name.
No Prior Rooftop Subsidy
The household should not have already availed a central rooftop solar subsidy on the same connection.
Residential Use Only
The central subsidy is for residential rooftop solar; commercial and industrial premises use a
different route — see our Financing page.
PM Surya Ghar Yojana Subsidy Slabs
The central subsidy (Central Financial Assistance) is the same on-paper structure across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, disbursed by direct benefit transfer to your bank account after commissioning. It applies to on-grid systems using ALMM-listed (MNRE-approved) panels and inverters, is capped at 3 kW for residential households, and current figures should always be confirmed via the official National Portal at the time of application.
| System Size | Indicative Central Subsidy | Typically Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 1 kW | Approx. ₹30,000 | 1–2 BHK, bills under ~150 units/month |
| Up to 2 kW | Approx. ₹60,000 | 2–3 BHK, ~150–250 units/month |
| 3 kW and above (residential) | Capped at approx. ₹78,000 | 3–4 BHK independent house, 250–400+ units/month |

Exact document requirements can vary by DISCOM and by property type (independent house vs. flat vs. society roof); we guide customers through the current checklist for their specific Delhi, UP or Haryana DISCOM at the time of application.
Steps Involved in Applying
The steps are the same everywhere in the NCR — only the DISCOM you interact with at steps 2 and 4 changes between Delhi, UP and Haryana.
Portal Registration
Register on the PM Surya Ghar National Portal with your consumer number, state, DISCOM and electricity bill details.
Site Feasibility
ECO-REFORMERS surveys your roof and consumption; your DISCOM (BSES/Tata Power-DDL, PVVNL/NPCL or DHBVN/UHBVN) confirms technical feasibility.
System Installation
An empanelled vendor installs the ALMM-approved panels and inverter sized to the approved capacity.
Net Metering
Net meter installation and inspection by your DISCOM, and upload of the commissioning report on the portal.
Subsidy Disbursal
Central subsidy is credited by direct benefit transfer to your bank account once approved.
Documents Commonly Required
Identity Proof
Aadhaar card, matching the name on your electricity bill.
Property/Ownership Proof
Registry, sale deed or society NOC for flats and society-owned terraces.
Recent Electricity Bill
Latest BSES/Tata Power-DDL, PVVNL/NPCL or DHBVN/UHBVN bill with your consumer account number.
Bank Account Details
Aadhaar-linked bank account and a cancelled cheque or passbook copy, for DBT of the subsidy.
Exact document requirements can vary by DISCOM and by property type (independent house vs. flat vs. society roof); we guide customers through the current checklist for their specific Delhi, UP or Haryana DISCOM at the time of application.
A Required Step for Subsidy Approval
Net metering installation and inspection by your local discom is a required step before subsidy disbursal under the scheme. In practice this means a joint inspection visit and bi-directional meter swap by BSES/Tata Power-DDL in Delhi, PVVNL/NPCL in Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida, or DHBVN/UHBVN in Gurugram, Faridabad and the rest of Haryana — ECO-REFORMERS schedules and follows up on this visit on your behalf so it isn’t left to chance.
How ECO-REFORMERS Supports the Process
We assist customers with system design, installation, and coordinating the paperwork associated with the subsidy application, working alongside the applicable government process. That includes helping with National Portal registration, liaising with your DISCOM for feasibility approval and the net-metering visit, and following up until the subsidy is credited — whether your property is in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida or Gurugram/Faridabad in Haryana.

PM Surya Ghar Yojana Questions
The central subsidy amounts and slab structure are set by the government and may change; always verify current figures through the official PM Surya Ghar National Portal, and ask us to confirm the live figure for your specific application.
The central subsidy slabs are the same nationwide, including across Delhi, UP and Haryana. What differs is the DISCOM you deal with (BSES/Tata Power-DDL, PVVNL/NPCL, or DHBVN/UHBVN), local net metering timelines, and whether a separate state-level top-up scheme happens to be active at the time — we check this per application.
PM Surya Ghar Yojana is primarily aimed at residential rooftop solar; commercial solar has separate financing considerations, see our Financing page.
Timelines depend on the DISCOM and government process and can vary by region; as a rough guide, most applications across Delhi, UP and Haryana take somewhere in the region of 45–90 days from portal registration to subsidy disbursal, assuming documents and site feasibility are in order.
In Delhi it's BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna or Tata Power-DDL depending on your locality; in Ghaziabad and Greater Noida it's mostly PVVNL, with NPCL covering Noida and parts of Greater Noida; in Gurugram, Faridabad and the rest of Haryana it's DHBVN or UHBVN. Check your electricity bill for the exact DISCOM name, or ask us during your site survey.
The scheme is designed so that a correctly sized rooftop system (typically 1–3 kW for an average household) can offset up to roughly 300 units of monthly grid consumption for many households, depending on your actual usage, roof sun exposure and system size — it isn't a flat cash payment, but a reduction in what you draw from the grid via net metering.
Yes, individual flat owners can apply for their own connection, and RWAs/societies can pursue common-area rooftop solar separately; terrace access and no-objection consent from the society are usually needed in either case, which we help coordinate.
Common reasons include a name mismatch between your bill, Aadhaar and bank account, using non-ALMM-listed panels, or incomplete feasibility approval. We review documents and equipment choice upfront specifically to avoid these issues before you apply.
