Rooftop Solar Subsidies in India 2026: Central, Delhi & NCR

Rooftop solar subsidies in India 2026: central, Delhi and NCR guide

Rooftop solar subsidy in India is no longer one flat number. The central PM Surya Ghar amount is unchanged at up to ₹78,000, but Delhi has raised its own state subsidy to match it, taking a 3 kW home to as much as ₹1,56,000 in combined subsidy. GST on solar modules has also fallen to 5%, and the central scheme is scheduled to close on 31 March 2027.

This guide puts every 2026 rooftop solar subsidy and incentive in one place: the central subsidy, Delhi's new state subsidy and zero-upfront route, the NCR neighbours (Uttar Pradesh and Haryana), and the tax and GST levers for businesses. It shows how they stack on a typical 3 kW system, which Delhi electricity company your application goes to, and which dates to plan around.
