For implementation of the Scheme, a Solar Mission Team will be formed at the Directorate Level and a Solar Mission Cell at the Secretariat level.
Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana on February 29, 2024 for installing rooftop solar and providing free electricity up to 300 units every month for one crore households. Under this scheme, the consumers may benefit from RTS installation by importing lesser grid supply thereby reducing his/her monthly electricity bill. Further, to lighten the investment burden of the household for installing the RTS system, the Government of India provides subsidies ranging from 60 percent to 54 percent for 1 kW to 3 kW of the RTS benchmark costs.
Nagaland state government has decided to supplement the central government subsidy by providing additional state subsidies from 36 percent to 31 percent for 1 kW to 3 kW, respectively of the benchmark cost of RTS installation.
An amount of INR 10 crore has been budgeted during the financial year 2025-26. Under this initiative of the GoI and State, rooftop solar will become affordable for the residents as the total subsidy will now range from 96 percent (up to 2 kW) to 85 percent (up to 3 kW) of the benchmark cost.
The first meeting of the Nagaland Solar Mission was held under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary Dr. J Alam, at the Conference Hall of the Chief Secretary on March 24, 2025. The meeting was attended by Finance Commissioner, Secretary Power, Engineer in Chief, Power and other Officials from the Power Department.
