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.

Solar installation cost in Delhi 2026: 3 kW, 5 kW and 10 kW prices

Ask five solar companies for a quote in Delhi and you may get five different numbers. That isn't necessarily a red flag; system cost depends on the panel brand, inverter type, mounting structure, roof height and after-sales package you choose, not just the kW size.

This guide gives realistic price ranges for the most common home system sizes, with and without subsidy, and explains what actually drives the price up or down so you can compare quotes properly.

This guide explains the subsidy amounts under the notified amendment, who is eligible, which documents you need, how to apply, and an important change to electricity subsidy eligibility that solar adopters should know about.

Net Metering in Delhi: Process, Documents & Timeline (2026)

Net metering in Delhi: how it works, how to apply and how long it takes

A rooftop solar system only pays for itself if the power it produces is counted. In Delhi, that is what net metering does. It lets you use your own solar power during the day, send the surplus to the grid, and pay your DISCOM only for the net units you draw.

This guide explains how net metering works in Delhi, which DISCOM handles your application, the step-by-step process, the documents you need, realistic timelines and the problems that most often cause delays.

Delhi rooftop solar incentives & savings (2024–25) – updated guide 2026

Delhi homeowners and businesses have more help than ever to go solar. The central PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana offers a direct cash subsidy for home systems, while Delhi’s Solar Energy Policy adds its own capital rebate, generation-based incentive (GBI) and waived net-metering fees. Stack these with accelerated-depreciation tax breaks for companies and the case for rooftop solar in FY 2025–26 is hard to beat.
