Gujarat has established itself as India’s leading state in rooftop solar energy by achieving an installed capacity of 1,879 MW. The state has successfully installed over 5 lakh residential rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, completing 50% of its ambitious target of 1 million systems by March 2027. Strong financial subsidies, amounting to ₹3,778 crore, along with user-friendly policies such as waived charges and simplified regulations, have encouraged widespread adoption. Gujarat’s proactive approach supports clean energy goals, reduces household electricity costs, and strengthens India’s renewable energy transition.
