What if one single state in India is doing more than one third of all rooftop solar installations under a major national subsidy scheme?
That’s exactly what’s happening in Gujarat, and it’s turning heads.
With 3.36 lakh homes already installed with solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Gujarat is not just leading, it’s setting a blueprint for other states. But how did this happen so fast, and what does it mean for homeowners across the country?
Read on, because the solar revolution just got very real, and very local.
Gujarat Sets a Benchmark for Solar Adoption under PM Surya Ghar Yojana
According to the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (GUVNL), Gujarat has installed 3.36 lakh rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana as of May 11, 2025.
That number translates to a 34% share of all rooftop solar units deployed nationally under this scheme, the highest among all states.
Gujarat has also received ₹2,362 crore in central subsidies, which have gone to roughly 3.03 lakh households.
Part of the success: strong administrative execution, widespread awareness drives across urban and rural areas, and a high-engagement approach by local bodies.
Homeowners Across India Can Now Save Big on Electricity Bills with Solar Subsidies
Under the PM Surya Ghar Scheme, eligible households can install up to 3 kW solar systems and receive a subsidy of up to ₹78,000.
On top of that, they get up to 300 units of free electricity per month, making the scheme economically compelling for middle-class homes.
The entire application process is online via the official portal (pmsuryaghar.gov.in), making it accessible and transparent to a wide audience.
By generating power on their rooftops, homeowners significantly reduce dependence on grid electricity and lower their monthly bills, creating a sustainable source of energy.
PM Surya Ghar Scheme Empowers Families to Cut Monthly Costs and Gain Long-Term Energy Freedom
The 3.36 lakh installed systems in Gujarat are generating around 1,232 MW of solar power, roughly equal to 1,834 million units of conventional electricity.
This clean energy generation avoids the burning of 1,284 metric tonnes of coal and helps prevent 1,504 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions, according to GUVNL data.
The scheme’s design - combining subsidy + free electricity - ensures that families will continue benefiting long after the panels are installed.
Gujarat’s success is driven by a virtuous cycle: policy + public awareness + execution, showing how government schemes can transform energy access and save money for citizens.
