Latest Status: Closed or Running?
- Some websites call the scheme "closed", but information from the government says otherwise. The Finance Minister clarified that the existing 100-unit scheme would continue and registered consumers would keep getting the benefit.
- The government later linked it to solar. Registered consumers who install rooftop solar are stated to get up to 150 free units a month.
- Reports say there is no announcement of adding new consumers to the scheme. Do check your registration and benefit status with your power company.
What the New 150-Unit Arrangement Means
- It is meant for consumers already registered under the Mukhyamantri Nishulk Bijli Yojana.
- A rooftop solar plant of at least 1.1 kW has to be installed at the home.
- Once solar is in place, the power company supplies up to 150 units free every month.
- Solar subsidy comes under the PM Surya Ghar scheme. Extra state-level assistance has also been reported.
- One report mentioned a date of 31 March 2026 for the older arrangement without solar. Confirm the present position with your DISCOM.
How Bills Worked Under the Old Scheme
| Monthly Use | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Up to 100 units | Zero electricity bill |
| 100 to 150 units | ₹3 per unit subsidy |

This describes the older arrangement. Ask your power company which slabs apply now.
