How much subsidy will you get?

State top-up, Gujarat

CHANGED from Rs 10,000/kW (cap Rs 20,000) to 0. The old figure is real but dead: OCR of the GEDA-hosted 2016 GR (https://geda.gujarat.gov.in/Gallery/Media_Gallery/gr_Subsidy_for_Res_Rooftop_Solar_plants.pdf, p.2 Resolution para 1) reads 'A Subsidy of Rs 10,000 per KW ... with maximum limit of Subsidy of Rs 20000/- per consumer', limited to the first 1,00,000 consumers and the Solar Power Policy-2015 period (paras 3-4). The SURYA-Gujarat GR of 05-08-2019 (p.1 preamble) says the Government 'is pleased to replace the GR No. SLR/11/2015/401/B dated 31/03/2016 and its amendments'; its para 4 (p.2) says 'the available subsidy shall be either of the state subsidy or MNRE subsidy, but not both' (EPD scheme brief, Dec 2023: 'Subsidy available is either of MNRE CFA or from the State Govt., but not both'). The 28-09-2022 amendment (p.2) set 'Operative Period: The policy operative period shall be up to Financial Year 2024-25'. The EPD scheme page (last updated 17-07-2026) lists no later extension or new top-up. So a Gujarat household taking the PM Surya Ghar central CFA gets no state top-up. All four documents are English scans, read by OCR (macOS Vision) on 2026-09-27.

State top-up, Madhya Pradesh

Unchanged value. No MP Energy Dept / MPUVN notification of a residential rooftop top-up was found in searches on 2026-09-27; aggregator lists (not evidence) say central CFA only. Absence is not proven, so this stays unverified at 0 (calculator shows 'not confirmed').

State top-up, Maharashtra

Value unchanged at 0 for a general residential consumer. The conflicting aggregator figures are explained by the SMART GR of 06-10-2025, which is the only Maharashtra top-up found. Its p.3 table, at a benchmark of Rs 50,000/kW, gives the state share per kW as: BPL Rs 17,500 (35%); consumers using under 100 units/month - general Rs 10,000 (20%), SC Rs 15,000 (30%), ST Rs 15,000 (30%). It covers about 5,00,000 households (1,54,622 BPL + about 3,45,378 low-use), with Rs 330 cr (FY2025-26) and Rs 325 cr (FY2026-27), implemented by MSEDCL. A typical rooftop lead (over 100 units/month, not BPL) is outside it. Kept unverified because no primary affirmatively states there is no general top-up; the Energy Dept PM Suryaghar page (last updated 29-05-2025) mentions none. GR text read via pdftotext; Marathi glyph mapping is imperfect but the figures and GR number were checked against the page image.

State top-up, Rajasthan

Figure read on the DISCOM's own scheme page (rendered 2026-09-27): 'राज्य सरकार द्वारा पात्र उपभोक्ता को रूपये 17,000 की वित्तीय सहायता एवं एक स्मार्ट मीटर नि:शुल्क उपलब्ध कराया जाएगा।' (the State Government will give an eligible consumer Rs 17,000 financial assistance and a free smart meter), alongside 'केन्द्रीय वित्तीय सहायता रूपये 33,000' (central CFA Rs 33,000 = 1.1 kW x Rs 30,000). ELIGIBILITY-CONDITIONAL: only consumers registered under the Mukhyamantri Nishulk Bijli Yojana, installing a 1.1 kW system ('पात्र उपभोक्ताओं को 1.1 किलोवाट का रूफ टॉप सोलर लगाने पर 150 यूनिट प्रतिमाह नि:शुल्क बिजली'), via PM Surya Ghar registered vendors, rolled out in phases. The page shows no date, so effective_from is null (press dates of 14-10-2025 launch and 07-11-2025 Rs 17,000 announcement are secondary). The calculator should not apply this to every Rajasthan household; it needs an eligibility toggle.

State top-up, Uttar Pradesh

CHANGED from 0 to Rs 15,000/kW, cap Rs 30,000. Policy §7.3(a) (p.18): 'State Government will provide subsidy of Rs 15000/KW to a maximum limit of subsidy Rs 30000/- per consumer'; §7.3(b): 'This subsidy will be in addition to any Central Financial Assistance available from Ministry of New and Renewable Energy'. §3.2 (p.4): in operation 'for a period of five (5) years or till the Government notifies the new policy' (Invest UP lists the English copy as uploaded 29-11-2022, so roughly to Nov 2027; the policy text carries no issue date, hence effective_from null). Still being paid: UPNEDA 'How to Avail State Subsidy' (Apr 2025) says UPNEDA releases the State Subsidy after CFA disbursal; the UPNEDA State Subsidy List PDF dated 24-09-2026 (598 pages, 33,979 rows) matches min(Rs 15,000 x installed kWp, Rs 30,000) on 33,977 rows, the other 2 within Rs 75 (rounding). Personal data in that list was not copied.

State top-up, Karnataka

Unchanged value. No Karnataka Energy Dept / KREDL / BESCOM notification of a residential rooftop top-up found in searches on 2026-09-27. Aggregators conflict (most say central-only, one claims Rs 20-30k) and are not evidence. Stays unverified at 0.

State top-up, Tamil Nadu

Stepped and eligibility-conditional, read 2026-09-29 in the Government Order itself: G.O. (Ms) No.102, Energy (E1) Department, 'Dated:19.09.2026' (p.1), a 6-page scan read by OCR and on the page images. Abstract (p.1): 'Introduction of new 'Rooftop Solar Subsidy Scheme' in convergence with Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana -State Subsidy support for domestic consumers - Approved - Orders - Issued.' Para 2 (pp.1-2): TNGECL proposes the subsidy for 'eligible domestic consumers, subject to successful installation, commissioning and verification of rooftop solar systems, until the benefit is availed by 1 lakh consumers', as 'an additional subsidy over and above the Central Financial Assistance', in a table headed 'Proposed State Subsidy': 'Up to 1 kW Rs.5,000', 'Up to 2 kW Rs.10,000', '3 kW and above Rs.22,000' (p.2). Para 6 (p.3): 'The Government after careful examination of the proposal ... have decided to accept the same and accord sanction for the following (i) Sanction and disbursement of State subsidy to 1 Lakh consumers (Registered from 05.08.2026 in PM Surya Ghar portal), on receipt of consumer data from Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). (ii) Sanction of Rs.50 Crore'; the State releases it by DBT in co-ordination with TEDA (para 6(v), pp.3-4). So steps = those three bands, amount per household, not per kW. The G.O. names no amount above 2 kW and below 3 kW: that gap has no band, and the code reports such a size as not confirmed, never interpolated. value stays 0 for readers that do not know steps. conditional: only consumers registered on the PM Surya Ghar portal from 05-08-2026, and only the first 1 lakh (paras 2 and 6). effective_from is null because the G.O. names no date from which the scheme applies; its dates are the order's own (19.09.2026), the Finance concurrence of the same day (para 11, p.4), the registration cut-off (05.08.2026) and TNGECL's aim of 1 lakh systems 'by 31.03.2027' (para 2, p.1). The TNPDCL portal (https://www.tnebltd.gov.in/usrp/, fetched 2026-09-29 13:15 IST, 'Last Updated: 24-09-2026 15:20:14') shows the same amounts ('1 kW ... ₹5,000', '2 kW ... ₹10,000', '3 kW ... ₹22,000', 'Above 3 kW ... ₹22,000 (max)'), heads its calculator column 'Proposed TN State subsidy', still lists the order as 'Energy Department (placeholder — pending issue)', says the state subsidy is released 'only after installation, net-metering, commissioning and central CFA disbursal', and states 'Scheme coverage: residential rooftop systems up to 10 kW'. The G.O. states no 10 kW limit, so the top band stays open-ended (kw_to null); confirm with TEDA before quoting above 10 kW.

State top-up, Delhi

Read on the rendered page 2026-09-29: 'GNCTD will provide a subsidy for all solar projects as given below'. Residential, 'Total Delhi Capital Subsidy maximum upto (₹/kW)': '≤ 2 kW ₹26,000', '> 2 kW but ≤ 3 kW ₹26,000', '> 3 kW up to 10 kW No additional subsidy'. The rule: 'State Subsidy shall be equal to (the cost arrived at through bidding under the Discom Trusteeship Model minus the PM Surya Ghar subsidy) or ₹26,000 × Plant Capacity (in kW), whichever is lower, subject to a maximum limit of ₹78,000.' So cap_amount = 78000 (on the page), cap_kw = 3, and cap_rule cost_minus_central, where the cost is the one discovered by bidding under the DISCOM Trusteeship Model, not the installer's own price. Footnote: '* Solar installations will also be undertaken under Discom trusteeship model through bidding.' Not marked conditional: the page grants the subsidy 'for all solar projects' and says trusteeship installations will 'also' happen, so it does not limit the subsidy to the trusteeship route. What the page does NOT say: which cost applies to a job outside the trusteeship route (the formula names only the trusteeship bid cost), who applies, or when it is paid. The scheme overview PDF the page opens (solar.delhi.gov.in/public/assets/solar/overview-of-delhi-solar-scheme.pdf, created 11-09-2026) says the Second Amendment to the Delhi Solar Energy Policy raised the subsidy to Rs 78,000 'in addition to' PM Surya Ghar, that homes using under 400 units a month can have a plant installed 'completely free of cost', and that vendors are being empanelled for plants up to 3 kW 'under Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA)/ Discom Trusteeship Model'. GHS/RWA: Rs 11,000 per kWp for common facilities up to 500 kWp (@3 kWp per house), capped to the bid-discovered cost differential. No Generation Based Incentive appears on the page. Treat Rs 26,000/kW as an upper bound and check on solar.delhi.gov.in that the job qualifies before quoting it.

State top-up, Haryana

CHANGED from Rs 10,000/kW (cap Rs 20,000) to 0 for a general residential consumer. That figure is the Antyodaya Category II grant, not a general top-up. DHBVN D-20/2024 (https://dhbvn.org.in/staticContent/saleregulation/salecircular/circular2024/20_D_2024.pdf, p.1): State Financial Assistance (SFA) only for DS connections with sanctioned load up to 2 kW, PPP family income up to Rs 3 lakh, average use up to 200 units/month, first 50,000 consumers. Category I (income up to Rs 1.8 lakh) gets 'Rs. 25,000/kW or 40% of the billed amount per kW upto 2 kW (whichever is lower)'. Category II (Rs 1.8-3 lakh) gets 'Rs. 10000/KW or 20% of the billed amount per kW upto 2 kW'. UHBVN U-10/2026 (scanned, OCR, pp.4-6): general non-defaulter (Cat I) and State-employee (Cat II) consumers get only 'interest-free financial assistance ... limited to a maximum of Rs. 19,500 per kW for upto 5 KWp', 'recoverable through 24/12 electricity bills'. That is a loan, not a grant. Antyodaya (Cat III) keep the SFA above, and Cat III(b) also gets Rs 9,500/kW interest-free. Model Haryana's grant as 0 for general leads; Antyodaya leads need an eligibility toggle.

State top-up, Punjab

Unchanged value. No Punjab (PEDA / PSPCL) notification of a residential rooftop top-up found in searches on 2026-09-27; aggregator lists (not evidence) say central CFA only. Absence is not proven, so this stays unverified at 0.

State top-up, Kerala

Unchanged value. No Kerala (ANERT / KSEB) notification of a residential rooftop top-up found in searches on 2026-09-27; aggregator lists (not evidence) say central CFA only. Absence is not proven, so this stays unverified at 0.

State top-up, West Bengal

Unchanged value. No West Bengal (WBREDA / WBSEDCL) notification of a residential rooftop top-up found in searches on 2026-09-27; aggregator lists (not evidence) say central CFA only. Absence is not proven, so this stays unverified at 0.

State top-up, Bihar

Value unchanged, still unverified. Independent outlets agree: Bihar Cabinet (12-08-2026) approved Rs 1,000 cr for state assistance over and above central CFA - Rs 10,000/kW, max Rs 20,000 per consumer (Rs 10,000 at 1 kW, Rs 20,000 at 2 kW and at 3 kW+), DBT, one year, up to 5 lakh consumers. The CM launched it as 'Mukhyamantri Solar Protsahan Yojana' on 22-09-2026 with transfers to about 25,000 beneficiaries (Amar Ujala). Press cites an Energy Dept resolution dated 14-08-2026, but it was not found on state.bihar.gov.in/energy or the Bihar cabinet dashboard, so no primary quote is available. effective_from is the cabinet date as reported, not read from a primary.

State top-up, Telangana

Unchanged value. No Telangana (TGREDCO / TGSPDCL) notification of a residential rooftop top-up found in searches on 2026-09-27; aggregator lists (not evidence) say central CFA only. Absence is not proven, so this stays unverified at 0.

State top-up, Andhra Pradesh

Unchanged value for a general consumer. Press reports (Swarajya, The Hans India, 2025) describe targeted AP support: SC/ST households get free 2 kW systems (state about Rs 55,000 on top of central Rs 60,000) and BC households get Rs 20,000 from the state. No AP Government Order or APSPDCL circular was found, and none of it is a general top-up. Stays unverified at 0.

State top-up, Odisha

Kept at 0, unverified. Primary evidence covers only the programme: Odisha Budget 2024-25 Highlights: 'Rs.100 crore allocated under State support for Roof Top Solar Projects (PM Surya Ghar)'. Rates come only from press on the Odisha Cabinet decision of 03-01-2025 (OdishaTV, Sambad English, Ommcom): state assistance Rs 25,000 for the 1st kW, Rs 25,000 for the 2nd and Rs 10,000 for the 3rd (max Rs 60,000), GHS/RWA Rs 18,000/kW; FY2024-25 to 2026-27; Rs 1,800 cr. No Energy Dept resolution or OREDA/TPCODL notice with the rate was reached (TPCODL registration portal timed out). The stepped structure also cannot be expressed exactly in the topup schema. The earlier 'Rs 1.38 lakh combined' aggregator claim equals Rs 78,000 central + Rs 60,000 state, consistent with the press.

Generation per kW, default

Value unchanged, still unverified: no primary states a national annual average. Primaries bracket it. MNRE FAQ (PIB 28-04-2022): 'On a clear sunny day, One kWp can generate 4 to 5.5 units in a day' (a clear-day figure). UPNEDA PM Surya Ghar Information Booklet p.3 (https://upneda.org.in/MediaGallery/Documents/MuftBijliYojanBooklet.pdf): '1 kW rooftop plant typically generates 4 to 5 units of electricity daily'. UPNEDA Rooftop FAQ p.5 (https://upneda.org.in/MediaGallery/Documents/FAQRooftop.pdf): 'The average monthly generation from a 2kW system is 270 units in Uttar Pradesh' (= 4.5 kWh/kWp/day, UP only). MNRE PMSG guidelines §3(c): '1,000 billion units ... during the 25 years' from the 30 GW target, which works out to about 3.65 kWh/kWp/day averaged over life including degradation (derived, not stated). 4.0 sits inside these, at the conservative end of the MNRE/UPNEDA daily ranges. No NIWE state-by-state table located, so no per-state entries are added.

Tariff, Torrent Power, Ahmedabad

Rate: RGP (Residential General Purpose). Fixed charge shown is for single-phase supply per month; three-phase is Rs 65/month (see fixed_charge_three_phase). BPL households get Rs 5/month fixed + 150 paise/unit for first 50 units, then RGP rate. Excludes FPPAS fuel-cost adjustment and electricity duty, billed separately.

Tariff, Torrent Power, Surat

Read 2026-09-29 in the order PDF (217 pp). Rate: RGP (Residential General Purpose), PDF p.203 (printed Page 202): 'Single-phase supply: Aggregate load up to 6 kW; Three-phase supply: Aggregate load above 6 kW'. 1.1 Fixed Charges for other than BPL consumers: 'Single Phase Supply Rs.25 per installation per month', 'Three Phase Supply Rs. 65 per installation per month' (fixed_charge_three_phase). 1.2 Energy Charges 'For the total monthly consumption': 'First 50 units 320 Paise per Unit', 'Next 50 units 365', 'Next 150 units 425', 'Above 250 units 505'. So the slab edges are 0-50 / 51-100 / 101-250 / above 250, not Ahmedabad's 0-50 / 51-200 / above 200. BPL households: Rs 5.00 per month fixed and 150 paise/unit for the first 50 units, then residential rates (pp.203-204). Effective date: PDF p.199 (printed 198), 'The retail supply tariffs for TPL-D (S) determined by the Commission are annexed to this Order and it shall come into force with effect from 1st April 2026' (order dated 25.03.2026); the schedule header on PDF p.200 says 'Effective from 1st April 2026'. General conditions: FPPAS 'shall be applicable in accordance with the formula approved by the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission from time to time' (item 14, p.201) and 'These tariffs are exclusive of Electricity Duty' (item 16, p.202), so both are billed on top.

Tariff, PGVCL

Rate: RGP (urban). Common schedule shared by all four state DISCOMs — identical for UGVCL/MGVCL/DGVCL. Fixed charge shown (Rs 15/month) is for connected load ≤ 2kW; rises to Rs 25/45/70 per month for 2-4/4-6/6+kW bands. Rural (RGP-Rural) rates are lower: 2.65/3.10/3.75/4.90 across the same slab boundaries — not separately modelled here. Excludes electricity duty.

Tariff, UGVCL

Same common GERC schedule as PGVCL (see that entry's note for fixed-charge bands and rural rates).

Tariff, MGVCL

Same common GERC schedule as PGVCL (see that entry's note for fixed-charge bands and rural rates).

Tariff, DGVCL

Same common GERC schedule as PGVCL (see that entry's note for fixed-charge bands and rural rates).

Tariff, MP Poorv Kshetra (MPPKVVCL / East)

Tariff Schedule LV-1 Domestic, LV 1.2(i) metered connection, PDF p.200 of the MPERC order dated 26-03-2026 (Petition No. 140 of 2025; date on p.18); one schedule for all three MP DISCOMs. Energy charge 'with telescopic benefit', urban and rural alike: up to 50 units 471 paise, 51-150 567, 151-300 705, above 300 724. The monthly fixed charge depends on the month's consumption. Urban: '81 per connection' (up to 50 units), '134 per connection' (51-150 units), and for 151-300 and above 300 units '30 for each 0.1 kW load*'. Rural: 67 and 111 per connection, then 28 for each 0.1 kW load. Note 1 (p.201): 'The fixed charges shall be levied considering every 15 units of consumption per month or part thereof equal to 0.1 kW of load. Example: If consumption during the month is 155 units, then the fixed charges shall be levied for 1.1 kW. In case the consumption is 350 units then the fixed charges shall be levied for 2.4 kW.' So above 150 units the Rs 30 multiplies a load worked out from the month's consumption (every 15 units or part = 0.1 kW), not the connected or sanctioned load: 400 units = 27 x Rs 30 = Rs 810 a month (urban). fixed_charge_steps holds the urban steps; fixed_charge stays at the lowest step (81) until the code reads the steps, so bills above 50 units are under-stated until then. Note 2 pro-rates the slabs when a reading period is not a month. LV 1.1 (sanctioned load up to 0.1 kW and up to 30 units a month): 372 paise flat, no fixed charge; not modelled. Effective date: para 1.32 (p.17), 'The tariff determined by this Order shall take effect only after seven (7) days from the date of such publication', meaning the DISCOMs' seven-day public notice in newspapers. That publication date was not found (MPERC notice board, MPEZ tariff page and the MPCZ tariff copy checked 2026-09-29), so effective_from is null. It was 2026-04-01 before; that cannot be right, because the order is dated 26 March 2026. Read 2026-09-29.

Tariff, MP Madhya Kshetra (MPMKVVCL / Central)

Same common MPERC schedule as MPPKVVCL (see that entry's note): same slabs, same consumption-linked fixed_charge_steps, effective_from null for the same reason (para 1.32: tariff applies seven days after the DISCOMs' newspaper notice, date not found). Read 2026-09-29.

Tariff, MP Paschim Kshetra (MPPoKVVCL / West)

Same common MPERC schedule as MPPKVVCL (see that entry's note): same slabs, same consumption-linked fixed_charge_steps, effective_from null for the same reason (para 1.32: tariff applies seven days after the DISCOMs' newspaper notice, date not found). Read 2026-09-29.

Tariff, MSEDCL (Mahavitaran)

Slab rates confirmed unchanged; fixed charge filled (was null). p.95 of 123, LT I(B) LT - Residential: energy charge 3.96 (1-100 units), 10.80 (101-300), 15.03 (301-500), 17.53 (above 500) Rs/kWh. Wheeling Charge is 1.60 Rs/kWh on every slab (total variable 5.56 / 12.40 / 16.64 / 19.13). Fixed/demand charge is Rs 130/connection/month, and three-phase is Rs 435/connection/month. BPL LT I(A) is 1.48 Rs/kWh + Rs 35. As before, 'rate' is the energy charge only. The consumer also pays Rs 1.60/kWh wheeling, FAC and electricity duty, so the calculator under-states MSEDCL bills and savings unless it adds wheeling. The order followed Bombay HC (03-11-2025) and Supreme Court (17-11-2025, 09-02-2026) orders; the FY2025-26 schedule (p.94) was effective 1 July 2025.

Tariff, MVVNL

Slabs and fixed charge confirmed unchanged. p.422 of 501, LMV-1 3(c)(2) 'Other Metered Domestic Consumers - Others', Tariff Payable by Consumer: up to 100 kWh Rs 5.50, 101-150 Rs 5.50, 151-300 Rs 6.00, above 300 Rs 6.50 per kWh. Fixed charge is Rs 110.00 per kW per month - per kW of load, not per connection, so the calculator should multiply by sanctioned load. One common Rate Schedule covers all five state DISCOMs (DVVNL, MVVNL, PVVNL, PuVVNL, KESCO). Rural 3(a)(2) (p.419): Rs 3.35 / 3.85 / 5.00 / 5.50 across up to 100 / 101-150 / 151-300 / above 300, fixed Rs 90/kW/month. Lifeline (1 kW, up to 100 kWh): Rs 3.00/kWh + Rs 50/kW. Para 8.2.7: 'no Tariff hike is required for FY 2026-27'. The aggregator's 'Rs 2.75 net of subsidy' first slab does not appear in this schedule, so that conflict is resolved. p.26: tariff 'in force seven days after the date of such publication' by the DISCOMs; that date is not in the order, hence effective_from null.

Tariff, default

Illustrative by design; no primary can verify a national fallback. Used for every DISCOM without its own entry: Rajasthan, Delhi, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha DISCOMs; and UP DISCOMs other than MVVNL. Torrent Power Surat has its own entry since 2026-09-29. The UPERC FY2026-27 schedule verified under MVVNL applies identically to PVVNL, DVVNL, PuVVNL and KESCO, but those entries were not added. Do not present to a customer as a state's actual tariff.
