The Delhi Government is actively promoting rooftop solar adoption to reduce electricity costs, improve energy security, and support the city’s clean energy goals. Notified in March 2024, the Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023 aims to increase Delhi’s installed rooftop solar capacity to 750 MW while accessing around 3,750 MW of utility-scale solar power from outside the state.
The policy complements the Central Government’s PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana by offering additional financial incentives to residential consumers.
The Delhi Government and the Central Government provide financial assistance to make on-grid rooftop solar systems more affordable for homeowners. Eligible residential consumers can receive up to ₹78,000 under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, along with the Delhi Government’s state subsidy and Generation-Based Incentives (GBI), subject to the applicable policy guidelines.
These incentives significantly reduce the upfront installation cost and improve the return on investment. Delhi is also witnessing growing rooftop solar adoption, with over 10,000 rooftop solar connections already energised. It is creating around 220 MWp of clean energy capacity and helping consumers collectively save nearly ₹160 crore annually on electricity bills.
Both the Central Government of India and the State Government provide solar subsidies in Delhi to reduce the cost of installation. Below you can get the amount of solar subsidy available for Delhi residents:
| Solar Subsidy/Policy | Details |
| Central Financial Assistance (CFA) under PM Surya Ghar Scheme | ₹30,000 for 1kW ( for household) |
| ₹60,000 for 2kW ( for household) | |
| ₹78,000 for 3kW or above (for household) | |
| ₹18,000 per kW for common facilities (for group housing society / resident welfare association) | |
| State Solar Subsidy | ₹10,000 per kW (max ₹30,000 per consumer) |
| State-Given Generation-Based Incentive (GBI) | Residential: ₹3/kWh (up to 3 kW), ₹2/kWh (3-10 kW) |
| GHS/RWA: ₹2/kWh (up to 500 kW) | |

The Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023 aims to increase installed rooftop solar capacity to 750 MW within the state. The policy also declares the state’s intention to import around 3,750 MW of solar energy for utility-scale solar capacity from outside the state.
The policy offers numerous benefits to potential consumers, including state subsidies, generation-based incentives and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)’s Central Financial Assistance (CFA).
By lowering the cost of solar panels, the solar program opens doors for residents and businesses to generate clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and air pollution. It’s a win-win situation – you save money on your electricity bills while contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment for Delhi.
