UP Aims to Install 8 Lakh Rooftop Solar Units by March 2027

The Uttar Pradesh government aims to install 8 lakh rooftop solar systems by March 2027 under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana. With 2.65 lakh installations targeted in 2025–26 and 22,000 units per month, the initiative is already gaining traction—over 1 lakh units have been installed so far. UPNEDA is leading the rollout, supported by trained vendors and financial incentives. Real-time monitoring via the CM’s Dashboard ensures transparency. With over 10.7 lakh applications received and 2,500 vendors empanelled, the scheme positions UP as a frontrunner in India’s solar revolution, promoting sustainability and energy independence across households.
