- India's residential rooftop solar capacity under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana crossed 16,000 MW in August, with Uttar Pradesh (228.95 MW) and Maharashtra (212.51 MW) leading monthly installations.
- The scheme has covered about 55.28 lakh households so far, with over ₹30,885 crore released as subsidy.
- Monthly installations fell about 11.6 per cent from July to August, though the overall pace of additions has grown roughly 3.2 times over the last three quarters.
- Households under the scheme can get up to 300 units of free electricity monthly and export surplus power to the grid.
What to watch next
- Whether the 11.6 per cent month-on-month dip in installations in August continues in coming months.
- The gap between applications (over 80.62 lakh) and completed installations (over 46.44 lakh), which suggests a large backlog.
- Whether Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra retain their lead positions in upcoming months.
