Haryana aims to install rooftop solar systems, solarize govt buildings by 2027
Chandigarh: In a major push towards clean and sustainable energy, Haryana has set an ambitious target of installing 2.2 lakh rooftop solar (RTS) systems across the state under the PM Surya Ghar : Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) by the financial year 2026–27.
The state also aims to solarise all govt buildings by Dec 31, without availing any central financial assistance (CFA). To achieve this, 4,523 govt buildings have been surveyed, identifying a cumulative solar potential of 122 MW.
The roadmap was unveiled during the State-Level Coordination Committee (SLCC) meeting chaired by chief secretary Anurag Rastogi, where senior officers presented the scheme’s progress and outlined strategies for faster rollout. “Haryana is not only promoting solar energy, we are ensuring it reaches the doorstep of every household, especially in rural areas,” said Rastogi.
To make the switch to solar financially viable, the govt is offering dual subsidies: CFA by the ministry of new and renewable energy, which is directly transferred to consumer bank accounts within 15 days of installation approval, and state financial assistance (SFA) for 1 lakh Antyodaya families, provided on a first-come-first-serve basis.
