PM Surya Ghar Yojana : ‘Rs 3.80 cr UT subsidy disbursed to 4,288 beneficiaries’

Jammu, Mar 31: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday informed the Legislative Assembly that ₹3.80 crore has been disbursed as UT subsidy in favour of 4,288 consumers of Kashmir and Jammu Power Distribution Companies under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. He was replying to a question raised by legislator Shakti Raj Parihar regarding the scheme. The Chief Minister, who also holds the Power portfolio, said that ₹1.80 crore has been disbursed in favour of the first 2,053 consumers of KPDCL, in line with the Central Financial Assistance (CFA). Similarly, ₹2 crore has been disbursed in favour of 2,235

beneficiaries of JPDCL under the scheme. Omar informed the House that under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the subsidy component is primarily borne by the Government of India through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, with an additional subsidy component provided by the UT. The Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is provided to residential consumers installing rooftop solar systems at ₹33,000 per kW for the first 2 kW of installed capacity and ₹19,800 per kW for the next 1 kW, taking the total maximum subsidy to ₹85,800 for systems up to 3 kW. In addition, the UT provides a subsidy

of ₹3,000 per kW—₹6,000 for 2 kW and up to ₹9,000 for 3 kW (capped at 3 kW)—taking the total subsidy up to ₹94,800 for a 3 kW system, he added. The CM further said that delays, wherever applicable, in the release of the UT’s share are primarily due to the verification of beneficiary installations, scrutiny of supporting documents, and integration of subsidy disbursement through the national portal. He said the J&K administration is taking necessary steps to streamline the process and assured that the pending UT subsidy share will be released to eligible beneficiaries upon completion of verification formalities.
