Every subsidy that matters, explained plainly.
One central scheme does most of the work for homes, another covers farms, and the state layer decides the details. Start with the scheme that fits you — each page covers the amounts, the process and the fine print.
Two things are true about Indian solar subsidies at once: the money is genuinely substantial, and the details change often enough that most of what you read online is out of date. We keep these pages honest — mechanisms stated confidently, perishable numbers flagged with where to verify them, and no invented figures. When in doubt, the official portal named on each page is the source of truth.
Central schemes
