Residents of Andhra Pradesh can now easily verify their entitlements under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana using online platforms. The national scheme, which provides up to 300 units of free electricity through rooftop solar systems, is implemented in the state through the New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NREDCAP). Here is a detailed look at how beneficiaries can check their subsidy and benefit status online.
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana represents a significant opportunity for Andhra Pradesh households to reduce energy costs and contribute to renewable energy targets. By using the national portal and support from NREDCAP, citizens can track their applications and ensure they receive timely benefits under the programme.
Understanding the Scheme
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana was launched in 2024 to promote rooftop solar adoption across India. Eligible households receive central financial assistance (CFA) for installation, capped at ₹78,000 per system. In Andhra Pradesh, applications and verifications are handled jointly by the national portal and state nodal agencies.
According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the scheme covers only residential connections, with the subsidy linked directly to system capacity and installation compliance.

Andhra Pradesh Implementation
In Andhra Pradesh, implementation is overseen by NREDCAP, in coordination with state distribution companies. The process requires feasibility approval before installation, vendor selection from an approved list, and final inspection by authorities. Only systems installed through registered vendors qualify for subsidies.
A NREDCAP official recently noted that the scheme is “a critical step in advancing renewable energy adoption in the state, ensuring that households directly benefit from the government’s commitment to solar power.”
