PM Surya Ghar scheme achieves major milestone as 40 lakh households embrace rooftop solar

India has marked a historic milestone in its clean energy journey. In a social media post, Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi said that 40 lakh households have now been empowered with rooftop solar under PM Surya Ghar scheme. He added that more than a renewable energy initiative, this transformative scheme is turning citizens from power consumers to power producers. The scheme is also enabling families to reduce electricity expenses, benefit from government subsidies and move towards zero electricity bills. The Minister highlighted that with every solar-powered home, the country moves closer towards energy security, environmental sustainability and the vision of a self-reliant Viksit Bharat.
