Chandigarh, Aug 7
In a major push towards clean and sustainable energy, Haryana has set a target of installing 2.2 lakh rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) in 2026-27.
Reinforcing its leadership in green energy adoption, the state aims to solarise all government buildings by December 31, without availing any central financial assistance.
Surveys have already been conducted on 4,523 government buildings, identifying a cumulative solar potential of 122 MW.
The roadmap was unveiled on Thursday at the state-level coordination committee meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, where senior officers presented the scheme's progress and outlined strategies for faster rollout.
"Haryana is not just promoting solar energy, we are ensuring it reaches the doorstep of every household, especially in rural areas," an official statement quoting the Chief Secretary said.
To make the switch to solar financially viable, the government is offering dual subsidies: Central financial assistance, which is directly transferred to consumers' bank accounts within 15 days of installation approval, and state financial assistance for 1 lakh Antyodaya families, provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Both subsidies significantly reduce the upfront cost of installation for economically weaker sections.
