Solar rooftop installations in West Bengal have increased nearly sevenfold under the central government's subsidy scheme, which aims to cover 10 million households by March 2027.
West Bengal has witnessed a significant surge in solar rooftop installations, with numbers rising by nearly seven times under the central government's initiative. This growth is driven by a specific scheme that offers financial assistance to residents for adopting renewable energy solutions.
The central government's program provides subsidies of up to ₹78,000 for the installation of solar rooftop systems. This financial support has made solar energy more accessible for households, contributing to the sharp increase in adoption rates across the state.
The scheme has set an ambitious target to cover 10 million households by March 2027. The recent data from West Bengal indicates that the state is making substantial progress toward this national goal, reflecting a broader shift towards sustainable energy practices in the region.
