Mukhyamantri Nishulk Bijli Yojana (मुख्यमंत्री निःशुल्क बिजली योजना) in Rajasthan
Mukhyamantri Nishulk Bijli Yojana is a state scheme run by the Rajasthan government to reduce household electricity bills and promote clean energy. Under the revamped version, eligible consumers receive a 1.1 kW rooftop solar system free of cost, which can generate up to 150 units of electricity per month. The scheme is being rolled out in phases across the state.
The total cost of the solar system is ₹50,000. The central government provides a subsidy of ₹33,000 under the Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme, and the Rajasthan government adds ₹17,000 through its power distribution companies.
