PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana 2026: How Jabalpur Homeowners Claim ₹78,000

The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is the central government's flagship rooftop solar scheme, and in 2026 it remains the single biggest reason installing solar makes sense for a home in Jabalpur. Here is exactly what you get and how to claim it.

What the subsidy is worth

The scheme pays a fixed subsidy based on your system size:

• 1 kW system → ₹30,000
• 2 kW system → ₹60,000
• 3 kW and above → ₹78,000 (this is the maximum cap)

For most homes, a 3 kW system is the sweet spot: it earns the full ₹78,000 and generates enough to wipe out a typical monthly bill. The subsidy is paid directly into your bank account after your system is commissioned and your net meter is installed.

Figures are indicative for 2026, so always confirm the current slab at the time of commissioning.

Up to 300 free units a month

Alongside the upfront subsidy, the scheme is built around the idea of up to 300 free units of electricity per month. A correctly sized ~3 kW rooftop system in Madhya Pradesh generates roughly that much, which for a large share of Jabalpur households means the electricity bill drops close to zero.

Who is eligible

• You own the home (or have owner consent) and the rooftop.
• You have a valid MP DISCOM (MPMKVVCL / Madhya Pradesh Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran) connection.
• The system is a grid-connected (on-grid) residential rooftop installation.

How to apply, step by step

1. Register on the National Portal for Rooftop Solar (pmsuryaghar.gov.in) with your electricity consumer details.
2. Choose a registered vendor, a DISCOM-empanelled installer like Khyati Enterprises.
3. Install and commission the system with approved components (tier-one modules, electrical BOS, engineered galvanized structures).
4. Net meter installation & inspection by the DISCOM.
5. Subsidy credited to your bank account, typically within 30–45 days.

The paperwork (portal registration, DISCOM applications, net-metering forms) is where most homeowners get stuck. As a local Jabalpur installer, we handle all of it for you end to end, so you only deal with the roof and the savings.

Is it worth it?

Take a home paying ₹4,000 a month. A ~4–5 kW system after the ₹78,000 subsidy typically pays for itself in 4–6 years, then generates free power for another two decades.
