PM Suryaghar Updates 2026: Policy, Subsidy & Portal Changes

PM Suryaghar: Muft Bijli Yojana — launched by the Government of India in February 2024 — has now crossed its second anniversary and entered the policy maturation phase. As of mid-2026, the scheme has crossed 3.35 crore registrations, with cumulative central subsidy disbursement of ₹14,771 crore through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) channel. The headline subsidy rates of ₹30,000, ₹60,000, and ₹78,000 for 1 kW, 2 kW, and 3 kW+ residential systems remain frozen at the original 2024 levels — but the surrounding ecosystem of portal features, DISCOM processing speeds, state stack add-ons, and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) has changed meaningfully through 2025 and into 2026.

This is the updates hub we maintain for residential applicants and channel partners — read this once a quarter and you’ll never be caught off-guard by a portal change or a state subsidy revision. We’ll walk through what’s changed in 2026, what’s still pending notification, and the five operational areas we monitor every month across the eighteen DISCOMs where Heaven Green Energy is empanelled.

Direct answer. PM Suryaghar central subsidy rates remain unchanged in 2026 at ₹30K / ₹60K / ₹78K for 1/2/3 kW+ residential systems. The main 2026 changes are operational: a vendor rating module on the national portal, an enhanced Aadhaar OTP verification flow that reduces e-KYC failures by ~40%, faster DISCOM feasibility timelines in Gujarat and Maharashtra, and revised state-level add-on subsidies in Gujarat, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Cumulative subsidy disbursement crossed ₹14,771 crore. Heaven Green Energy tracks every policy change monthly across all eighteen empanelled DISCOMs.

If you’re planning to apply in the second half of 2026, the takeaway is simple: the financial offer is the same, but the user experience has improved significantly, and a few states have added local sweeteners worth chasing. The 1 crore homes target by March 2027 means the next nine months will see aggressive throughput — and that aggression brings both opportunity and risk.

PM Suryaghar Scheme Overview — Where Things Stand in 2026

PM Suryaghar: Muft Bijli Yojana was announced by the Prime Minister on 13 February 2024 with a stated outlay of ₹75,021 crore and a target of 1 crore residential rooftop installations by March 2027. The scheme replaced the earlier MNRE Phase II rooftop solar programme and consolidated central subsidies under a single national portal — pmsuryaghar.gov.in — that all distribution companies (DISCOMs) plug into.

Two years in, the scheme has materially shifted the rooftop solar market. Before February 2024, residential rooftop installations averaged around 35,000 systems per month nationally; the latest MNRE monthly bulletin puts that number at ~1.6 lakh per month by Q1 2026 — a more than four-fold expansion. The combination of a fixed national subsidy rate, a single application portal, and aggressive DISCOM-level activation has compressed the consumer decision cycle from “explore for a year” to “decide in a month.”

The cumulative subsidy disbursement of ₹14,771 crore translates to roughly 18.9 lakh sanctioned systems — meaning the scheme has hit roughly 19% of its 1 crore target with about nine months remaining. That gap is what’s driving the policy machinery’s current focus on operational throughput rather than incentive changes. Subsidy rates are unlikely to move — but processing speed, vendor accountability, and consumer experience are being optimised continuously.

For new applicants, the practical implication is that 2026 is the best execution window in the scheme’s lifetime. The portal has stabilised, DISCOMs have built dedicated renewable energy cells, vendor empanelment processes are mature, and the DBT pipeline has resolved the bank-seeding issues that plagued the 2024 cohort. If you’ve been waiting for the wrinkles to settle, they have. Our full backgrounder for first-time applicants sits in the PM Suryaghar complete guide.

The Suryaghar Policy Change Tracker — 5 Areas We Monitor Monthly

Every policy hub needs a framework, otherwise the updates feel arbitrary. This is the lens we apply across the eighteen DISCOMs we operate in — five distinct surfaces where change tends to land, each with its own change cadence, signal sources, and consumer impact. We call it the Suryaghar Policy Change Tracker, and reviewing these five areas every month is what lets us catch quietly-released circulars before they hit our customers.

Area 1 — Central subsidy rates. This is the headline number — ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 kW / 2 kW / 3 kW+ residential systems. MNRE notifies any change through an official circular on the mnre.gov.in circulars page, with parallel updates pushed to the national portal. The current rates have been frozen since the February 2024 launch notification and remain unchanged through the 2026–27 financial year budget allocation. Any future revision would require a Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approval, which is a multi-month process — so subsidy rate stability is high.

Area 2 — DISCOM-level processing speed. Each DISCOM publishes its average feasibility approval time and net-meter inspection time, either on its own portal or via the national dashboard. We track these monthly because they’re the actual determinant of consumer experience — a state with a generous stack but a 60-day feasibility queue is worse than a state with no stack and a 12-day queue. Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan currently lead on processing speed.

Area 3 — ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers). The MNRE ALMM register lists every solar PV module model that qualifies for use in subsidised installations. The list is updated quarterly — new tier-1 manufacturers are added, and models that fail compliance audits are dropped. This matters because a panel removed from ALMM mid-installation forfeits your subsidy. We refresh our procurement plan every time the list publishes.

Area 4 — State subsidy stack policies. Several states stack their own additional subsidy on top of the central ₹78,000 — Gujarat offers up to ₹20,000, Uttar Pradesh up to ₹15,000, and Haryana up to ₹25,000 for low-income categories. These state amounts are announced through state energy department GR (Government Resolution) notifications and can change with state budget cycles. We monitor every state energy department portal and the PIB India press releases for these.

Area 5 — National portal feature releases. The PM Suryaghar portal itself ships new features roughly every six to eight weeks. In 2026, the major releases include the vendor rating module, the enhanced Aadhaar OTP flow, multilingual UI improvements, and the application-status SMS push system. Each portal change either reduces friction or adds compliance — we test every release within the first 48 hours of deployment.

Track these five areas monthly and you have full visibility into the scheme’s evolution. Miss them, and you’ll be guessing at why an application that worked in January failed in March.

Recent Subsidy Rate History and 2026 Status

Subsidy rate stability is the single most important fact for residential applicants. We’ve compiled the rate timeline across the past three financial years so you can see exactly how unusual the current freeze is in historical context. Before PM Suryaghar, residential rooftop subsidies under the MNRE Phase II programme changed roughly every nine months — the current 26-month freeze is the longest stable period since the central residential subsidy scheme began in 2014.

Date	Notification	Residential Subsidy (1/2/3 kW+)	What changed
Jul 2022	MNRE Phase II revised	₹14,588 / ₹29,176 / ₹94,822	Capacity-utilisation linked; replaced 2019 rates
Apr 2023	MNRE Phase II amendment	₹14,588 / ₹29,176 / ₹94,822	Rates retained; eligibility tightened
Feb 2024	PM Suryaghar launched	₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000	Scheme replaces Phase II; simpler structure
Mar 2024	Operating guidelines released	₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000	RWA rate set at ₹18,000/kW (common loads)
Aug 2024	DBT process notified	₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000	Direct transfer to Aadhaar-linked bank account
Apr 2025	FY26 budget allocation	₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000	Outlay ₹20,000 cr for FY26 — rates retained
Apr 2026	FY27 budget allocation	₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000	Outlay maintained — rates retained through Mar 2027
Jun 2026	Current status	₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000	No revision planned before scheme target date

The pattern is clear — the 2024 launch deliberately set rates that the Centre could sustain through the scheme’s full target window. Any speculation about a mid-scheme bonus or top-up is unfounded; in fact, MNRE statements in the May 2026 parliamentary committee briefing confirmed that rates will remain at current levels until the 1 crore target is achieved, after which the scheme will be reviewed. For applicants, the practical takeaway is to act inside the current window rather than wait — the rates won’t get better, and waiting only loses generation revenue.

DISCOM-Level Processing Speed Updates

Central subsidy rates are uniform, but DISCOM processing speed is where consumer experience genuinely diverges. We track the median feasibility approval time and median net-meter inspection time for every DISCOM where we operate. Below are the Q2 2026 numbers we observe on the ground — DISCOM-published figures sometimes differ slightly because they exclude weekends and document re-submission days.

DISCOM	State	Feasibility median	Inspection median	Speed trend (vs 2025)
MGVCL	Gujarat (Vadodara)	7–10 days	5–8 days	Faster
UGVCL	Gujarat (Ahmedabad/N. Guj)	8–12 days	6–9 days	Faster
DGVCL	Gujarat (Surat)	8–11 days	6–9 days	Faster
PGVCL	Gujarat (Rajkot/Saurashtra)	10–14 days	7–10 days	Faster
MSEDCL	Maharashtra	10–15 days	8–12 days	Faster
JVVNL	Rajasthan (Jaipur)	10–18 days	7–14 days	Stable
JdVVNL	Rajasthan (Jodhpur)	12–18 days	8–14 days	Stable
AVVNL	Rajasthan (Ajmer)	12–20 days	8–14 days	Stable
MPMKVVCL (Madhya)	Madhya Pradesh (central)	14–20 days	10–15 days	Slower
MPPKVVCL (West)	Madhya Pradesh (west)	14–22 days	10–16 days	Slower
UPPCL	Uttar Pradesh	15–25 days	12–20 days	Stable
TANGEDCO	Tamil Nadu	15–22 days	12–18 days	Faster
BESCOM	Karnataka	12–18 days	10–14 days	Faster
BSES Rajdhani	Delhi	10–16 days	8–12 days	Stable
Tata Power (Mumbai)	Maharashtra (Mumbai)	8–14 days	6–10 days	Faster
KSEB	Kerala	14–20 days	10–15 days	Stable
WBSEDCL	West Bengal	18–25 days	14–20 days	Slower
APEPDCL	Andhra Pradesh	12–18 days	10–14 days	Stable

Gujarat’s four DISCOMs lead the country — the renewable energy cells in Vadodara and Ahmedabad have built standing inspection teams that book appointments same-day. Maharashtra’s MSEDCL has cut feasibility from a 20–28-day window in 2025 to 10–15 days in 2026 by digitising the distribution-transformer-capacity lookup. Rajasthan is stable but consistent; Madhya Pradesh has slowed slightly because of a documentation audit underway. State-specific guides — Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan — go deeper on each DISCOM’s process.

The headline insight: where you live now genuinely affects your end-to-end timeline. A Gujarat applicant can be commissioned in 35 days; a West Bengal applicant typically takes 55–65 days. This is not a function of central scheme design — it’s purely DISCOM execution. The central subsidy lands in your account 30 days after commissioning regardless.

State Subsidy Stack Changes in 2026

The state add-on subsidy is the single most underused lever in PM Suryaghar. Most consumers know about the central ₹78,000 — fewer know that their state may stack an additional ₹15,000–₹25,000 on top. These state subsidies are funded from state energy department budgets, notified through state Government Resolutions (GRs), and disbursed either as a separate DBT or as a discount on the installation invoice. The 2026 picture has shifted from 2025: three states have revised their schemes, two new states have added stacks, and one has paused its programme pending budget approval.

State	Central (MNRE)	State add-on (2025)	State add-on (2026)	Disbursement mode
Gujarat	₹78,000	₹20,000 (1 kW), ₹14,000/kW after	₹20,000 (1 kW), ₹14,000/kW after	GR active — disbursed via vendor
Uttar Pradesh	₹78,000	₹15,000 (3 kW)	₹15,000 (3 kW) — extended to FY27	UPNEDA portal — separate DBT
Haryana	₹78,000	₹15,000–₹25,000 (income-linked)	₹15,000–₹25,000 (slabs revised)	HAREDA — separate DBT
Madhya Pradesh	₹78,000	Nil	₹10,000 (newly added Apr 2026)	MPUVNL portal — vendor adjusted
Maharashtra	₹78,000	₹10,000 (pilot, 50 districts)	Nil — pilot ended	N/A
Tamil Nadu	₹78,000	Nil	₹20,000 (new — TANGEDCO scheme)	TEDA — separate DBT
Kerala	₹78,000	₹14,000 (Soura)	₹14,000 (Soura — continued)	ANERT — vendor adjusted
Rajasthan	₹78,000	Nil (central stacking only)	Nil — under review	N/A
Karnataka	₹78,000	Nil	Nil	N/A
West Bengal	₹78,000	Nil	Nil	N/A

The biggest 2026 winners are Tamil Nadu (new ₹20,000 stack) and Madhya Pradesh (new ₹10,000 stack). The biggest loser is Maharashtra — the 50-district pilot ₹10,000 stack ended in March 2026 and has not been renewed in the 2026–27 state budget. Gujarat remains the strongest absolute stack at ₹20,000 for 1 kW and ₹14,000 per additional kW up to 3 kW, making it the single best state for total subsidy capture (₹78,000 + ₹48,000 = ₹1.26 lakh on a 3 kW system).

Portal Feature Releases You Should Know

The national portal at pmsuryaghar.gov.in has shipped a steady stream of incremental improvements through late 2025 and into 2026. Most of these are quality-of-life upgrades, but a few materially change how applications behave. Here are the feature releases worth knowing about — listed in chronological order with the impact on a typical residential applicant.

1. Enhanced Aadhaar OTP flow (Jan 2026). The portal now uses the upgraded UIDAI v2 OTP API which reduces failed e-KYC attempts by approximately 40%. If your earlier 2024 or 2025 attempt failed at the Aadhaar verification step, retry on the new flow — most retries succeed without document changes.
2. Vendor rating module (Feb 2026). Every empanelled vendor now carries a star rating (1–5) visible in the vendor-selection screen, computed from post-installation consumer feedback, on-time delivery, and inspection-pass rate. Heaven Green Energy currently holds a 4.8-star rating across our eighteen empanelled DISCOMs.
3. Application status SMS push (Mar 2026). Status updates are now SMS-pushed at each milestone — feasibility approved, vendor assigned, installation reported, inspection scheduled, DBT initiated. Previously consumers had to log in to check; now updates arrive automatically on the registered mobile.
4. Multilingual interface expansion (Apr 2026). The portal now offers full UI translation in 11 languages — Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Punjabi, Odia, and English. Document upload prompts and error messages now appear in the chosen language.
5. Document re-upload without restart (May 2026). Previously, a rejected document forced you to restart the application. The new flow lets you re-upload the specific failed document while preserving the application reference number. Save thirty days of rework.
6. DISCOM-side dashboard for transformer loading (May 2026). DISCOM users now see live transformer-loading data when reviewing feasibility, reducing the time spent in “transformer queue” status. Consumers don’t interact with this directly, but feasibility approval times drop by 3–5 days.
7. Auto-fill from previous applications (Jun 2026). If you’ve applied before for a different connection, the portal now auto-fills personal data — only address and bill-specific fields need fresh entry.
8. API for empanelled vendors (Jun 2026). Empanelled vendors with high volume can now integrate via API for bulk application status checks and document uploads. Heaven Green Energy is integrated, which means we proactively monitor status across all our active customer applications.

The pace of portal improvement is the strongest signal that the scheme is being run actively, not just maintained. Compare this to legacy MNRE schemes which often went 18–24 months without a single feature ship.

Common 2026 Application Pitfalls

Most rejection patterns we tracked in 2024–25 have been engineered out of the system through portal improvements. But a new set of 2026-specific pitfalls has emerged — many of them caused by people applying with outdated information from 2024 or 2025 guides. Here’s what trips applicants today.

1. 1
   Using outdated subsidy expectations. Some 2023 articles still circulate showing ₹94,822 for 3 kW — that was the old MNRE Phase II number. The current rate is ₹78,000. Verify against the official portal before signing any vendor quote.
2. 2
   Ignoring state stack expiry dates. Maharashtra's pilot ₹10,000 stack ended in March 2026 — any quote claiming it for a new 2026 application is invalid. Always verify state subsidy active status.
3. 3
   Choosing a low-rated vendor. The new vendor rating module makes ratings publicly visible. A 2-star vendor exists for a reason; the price difference is rarely worth the rework risk. Filter to 4-star and above.
4. 4
   Buying off-ALMM panels at a discount. Some vendors offer Chinese-origin panels at 20–25% lower prices, claiming the ALMM list will be relaxed. It has not been — installations with off-list panels fail inspection and forfeit subsidy.
5. 5
   Not using the new auto-fill flow. Re-entering data manually when you've applied before increases the chance of typos and Aadhaar-mismatch rejection. Use auto-fill if the portal offers it.
6. 6
   Missing the financial year reset window. Subsidy budgets are allocated annually. Applications submitted in February–March may face a queue that rolls over to April disbursement. Plan a Q1 or Q2 submission for fastest DBT.
7. 7
   Failing to update Aadhaar–bank seeding after a bank change. If you switched banks in the past 12 months, your Aadhaar seeding may still point to the old account. Re-seed via your new branch before applying.

Early Adopter vs Wait-and-Watch — A 2026 Pros and Cons

The single question we field most often from prospective residential applicants in 2026 is whether to apply now or wait for “the next round.” There isn’t a next round — the scheme runs until March 2027 then closes for review. But the question is genuine, so here’s the honest pros-and-cons against acting in 2026 versus waiting.

The pros of applying in 2026 dominate clearly. The only situation where waiting makes sense is if you’re mid-construction and the roof isn’t ready, in which case wait until commissioning. For everyone else, the maths is simple — every month you defer is one month of electricity bill you pay at retail tariff instead of generation at ~₹3/kWh equivalent.

Verdict. Apply in 2026. The subsidy is at peak, the portal is at its best, state stacks are still active in major states, and DISCOM throughput is the fastest it’s ever been. Waiting for “better” is waiting for nothing — there is no announced enhancement, and post-March-2027 scheme status is uncertain. A residential 3 kW applicant in a stack state (Gujarat, TN, UP) captures ₹93,000–₹1,26,000 in combined central and state subsidy today; that maths will not repeat after the scheme reviews.

How Heaven Green Energy Helps

Heaven Green Energy is India’s #1 ranked PM Suryaghar installer on the national portal — and we maintain that position through monthly policy tracking, portal-feature monitoring, and direct DISCOM coordination across eighteen empanelled circles. When the policy machinery shifts, we move with it; our customers don’t have to.

Specifically, here’s how we plug into the 2026 PM Suryaghar workflow for residential applicants:

• Policy monitoring service. We track all five areas in the Suryaghar Policy Change Tracker monthly and publish quarterly state-by-state subsidy updates that all customers receive automatically.
• State stack capture. We file the state add-on subsidy application in parallel with the central PM Suryaghar — most vendors only file the central; we file both, and we deduct the state subsidy from your invoice if disbursement is via vendor channel.
• Portal API integration. We’re integrated with the empanelled-vendor API so we proactively monitor your application’s status across feasibility, inspection, and DBT — no need for you to log in repeatedly.
• Vendor rating maintenance. Our 4.8-star portal rating reflects on-time completion and inspection-pass rate; new customers can verify directly on the portal vendor-selection screen.
• MNRE-ALMM panels only. We use Adani, Waaree, Vikram, or Tata panels — all current ALMM tier-1 — never off-list imports.
• 25-year performance support. Our O&M (Operations and Maintenance) contracts include annual cleaning, electrical inspection, and inverter health checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have PM Suryaghar subsidy rates changed in 2026?

No — the central subsidy rates of ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, and ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above remain unchanged in 2026. These rates have been frozen since the scheme’s February 2024 launch and are confirmed retained in the FY27 Union Budget allocation through March 2027. The Resident Welfare Association (RWA) rate also remains at ₹18,000 per kW for common-area loads. Any quote suggesting different rates is using outdated information from the pre-PM-Suryaghar MNRE Phase II programme.

What new features has the PM Suryaghar portal added in 2026?

The major 2026 portal feature releases include the enhanced Aadhaar OTP flow that reduces e-KYC failures by about 40%, a vendor rating module showing 1–5 star ratings on every empanelled vendor, application status SMS push notifications at each milestone, multilingual UI expanded to 11 Indian languages, document re-upload without application restart, and auto-fill from previous applications. The pace of feature ships has been roughly one major release every six to eight weeks through 2025–26.

Which states have changed their state-level subsidy stack in 2026?

Three notable changes in 2026: Tamil Nadu added a new ₹20,000 state stack through TANGEDCO/TEDA, Madhya Pradesh added a new ₹10,000 stack through MPUVNL, and Maharashtra’s earlier pilot ₹10,000 stack ended in March 2026 without renewal. Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Kerala continue their existing stacks. Rajesh, Karnataka, and West Bengal do not stack at state level — applicants receive only the central ₹78,000.

What is the current cumulative subsidy disbursement under PM Suryaghar?

Cumulative central subsidy disbursement under PM Suryaghar has crossed ₹14,771 crore by mid-2026, representing approximately 18.9 lakh sanctioned residential installations. Total portal registrations have crossed 3.35 crore, and monthly application volume runs at approximately 1.6 lakh per month. The scheme target of 1 crore installations by March 2027 implies an acceleration to roughly 9 lakh installations per month over the remaining window — most of which will land in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu.

How fast are DISCOMs processing PM Suryaghar feasibility approvals in 2026?

Processing speeds vary by DISCOM. Gujarat’s four DISCOMs (MGVCL, UGVCL, DGVCL, PGVCL) lead with 7–14 day feasibility medians. Maharashtra’s MSEDCL has improved to 10–15 days. Rajasthan’s three DISCOMs (JVVNL, JdVVNL, AVVNL) hold at 10–20 days. Uttar Pradesh’s UPPCL runs 15–25 days. West Bengal’s WBSEDCL is the slowest at 18–25 days. Net-meter inspection adds another 5–20 days. End-to-end from application to subsidy DBT runs 35–90 days depending on DISCOM.

Is the ALMM panel list still mandatory in 2026?

Yes — ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) compliance remains mandatory in 2026. Only solar PV modules on the current ALMM register qualify for subsidised installation under PM Suryaghar. The list is updated quarterly by MNRE; check the latest list on the mnre.gov.in ALMM page before signing any vendor quote. Off-list panels — usually Chinese-origin discount modules — cause inspection failure and subsidy forfeiture. There has been no relaxation of ALMM compliance through 2025 or 2026.

What is the MNRE helpline number for PM Suryaghar queries?

The MNRE national helpline for PM Suryaghar queries is 1800-180-3333. It operates between 8 AM and 10 PM IST on all working days. The helpline can answer queries on application status, subsidy disbursement, document requirements, and DISCOM-level escalations. For installation and vendor-specific questions, contact your empanelled vendor directly. For state-stack subsidy queries, contact your state energy department helpline — these numbers are published on each state’s renewable energy portal.

Will PM Suryaghar continue after March 2027?

PM Suryaghar’s current notified term runs through March 2027 with the 1 crore installation target. The Government of India has not yet notified whether the scheme will be extended, replaced, or wound down post-target. MNRE statements in the May 2026 parliamentary committee briefing indicate a review will be conducted after target achievement, with the possibility of a successor scheme covering installed-base operations, expansion to commercial/industrial segments, or revised residential terms. Any decision will be announced via official MNRE notification — apply now to lock in current terms.

How does the new vendor rating module work?

The vendor rating module, launched in February 2026, displays a 1–5 star rating on each empanelled vendor in the portal’s vendor-selection screen. Ratings are computed from three weighted inputs: post-installation consumer feedback (50%), on-time milestone delivery (30%), and JVVNL/DISCOM inspection-pass rate (20%). Ratings refresh monthly. Heaven Green Energy currently holds a 4.8-star rating across all eighteen empanelled DISCOMs. New consumers should filter to 4-star and above for lowest rework risk.

Can I stack PM Suryaghar with a solar loan?

Yes — PM Suryaghar subsidy is fully compatible with solar loans from public sector banks (SBI, Canara Bank, PNB) and several NBFCs. The subsidy lands in your Aadhaar-linked bank account 30 days after commissioning; you can use it to part-prepay your solar loan, reducing tenure or EMI. The MNRE recommends loans at concessional rates around 7–9% per annum for PM Suryaghar systems. Compare loan terms across lenders before signing, and confirm the loan disburses against the post-subsidy net amount (₹87,000–₹1,07,000 for 3 kW) rather than gross system cost.
