Madhya Pradesh is India’s second-largest state by area, with over 1.8 crore 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 — 5.0–5.5 kWh/m²/day in central regions — makes rooftop solar financially attractive with a payback period of 3–4 years even without additional state incentives.
This guide covers PM Suryaghar specifically for Madhya Pradesh — the three DISCOM zones, their application processes, and the MP-specific considerations.
