Delhi hikes solar panel subsidy, free panels for homes using up to 400 units: CM Rekha Gupta
Gupta said the government has targeted installing rooftop solar systems in 230,000 households across Delhi by March 2027
Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced an increase in the subsidy for residential rooftop solar installations, making it free for households using up to 400 units of electricity per month. The plan, part of the revised Delhi Solar Policy, will offer subsidies of up to ₹78,000 for a 3-kilowatt solar panel system, thanks to both state and central government funding.
The policy aims to install rooftop solar systems in 230,000 households across Delhi by March 2027. Households consuming more than 400 units will receive a reduced subsidy of ₹78,000 each from the Centre and Delhi, with a consumer contribution of ₹19,000. The program is part of the government's "Green Delhi" initiative, with around 10,000 buildings currently having rooftop solar panels installed.
