Madhya Pradesh is India’s second-largest state by area, with electricity consumers spread across three DISCOM zones. PM Suryaghar offers the same ₹78,000 central subsidy here as anywhere in India, and MP’s solar irradiation, 5.0 to 5.5 kWh/m²/day in central regions, together with upper-slab domestic tariffs above ₹7 per unit, makes rooftop solar financially attractive with a payback period of roughly 3 to 4 years without any state incentive.
This guide covers PM Suryaghar specifically for Madhya Pradesh, the three DISCOM zones, their application processes, and the MP-specific considerations.
Direct answer. PM Suryaghar in Madhya Pradesh pays ₹78,000 central subsidy for 3 kW and above. Three DISCOMs serve MP: MPPKVVCL for western MP including Indore, MPMKVVCL for central MP including Bhopal, and MPPoKVVCL for eastern MP including Jabalpur. Total timeline is typically 80 to 110 days. Budget on the central subsidy alone: we could not confirm any MP state top-up for residential rooftop solar.

System Sizing for Madhya Pradesh

|---|---|---|
| Indore | 5.2 to 5.5 | 124 |
| Bhopal | 5.0 to 5.3 | 119 |
| Gwalior | 5.3 to 5.6 | 126 |
| Jabalpur | 4.8 to 5.1 | 114 |
| Rewa | 5.2 to 5.5 | 124 |
The divisor is the monthly output of 1 kW: mid-range peak sun hours × 30 days × a 77% performance ratio for system losses.
