The Rajasthan Government has recently announced an upgrade to its Free Electricity Scheme, increasing the benefit from 100 free units to 150 free units per month. This new initiative is directly linked with the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, where rooftop solar installations are being promoted to ensure long-term energy savings for households.

In this blog, we answer the most common FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) about the 150 Free Units Scheme in Rajasthan, eligibility, subsidies, and how it will be implemented.

✅ FAQ 1: Who will get the benefit of 150 free units in Rajasthan?

Only those consumers who are currently receiving the 100 units free electricity benefit will be eligible for the 150 units scheme. This scheme is specifically targeted at small and middle-income households who have low to moderate monthly electricity consumption.

✅ FAQ 2: Will consumers get 150 free units, ₹17,000 subsidy, and a 1.1 kW solar system for free?

Yes – all these statements mean the same benefit explained in different ways. Here’s the breakdown:

• A 1.1 kW rooftop solar plant produces around 150 units of electricity per month in Rajasthan’s climatic conditions.

• The cost of a 1.1 kW system is approximately ₹50,000.

• The Central Government provides a subsidy of ₹33,000 under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.

• The Rajasthan Government contributes the remaining ₹17,000.

👉 This means, effectively, the consumer is getting 150 units of electricity per month free of cost, for the next 25 years, through solar power.

In short:150 units = 1.1 kW solar system = ₹17,000 subsidy from Rajasthan Government

✅ FAQ 3: How will the scheme be implemented?

The government has designed a clear framework:

• If a household consumes 150 units or more every month, then installing a rooftop solar system becomes mandatory.

• If they don’t install solar, their existing benefit of 100 free units will be discontinued.

• For consumers, the government will provide a 1.1 kW rooftop solar system free of cost.

• If a consumer wishes to install a system bigger than 1.1 kW, they can still avail both subsidies:

  • ₹78,000 subsidy from the Central Government (depending on the system size)

  • ₹17,000 subsidy from the Rajasthan Government

👉 In simple words, Rajasthan Government has ensured that by spending ₹17,000, it is securing 150 free units of electricity every month for the next 25 years for eligible consumers.

🔑 Key Benefits of 150 Free Units in Rajasthan

• Free solar system installation (1.1 kW capacity)

• 150 free units of electricity every month for 25 years

• Savings on electricity bills and protection from future tariff hikes

• Dual subsidy support – Central (₹33,000–₹78,000) + Rajasthan State (₹17,000)

• Clean and green energy promoting Rajasthan’s renewable energy mission

  
  

📌 Conclusion

The 150 Free Units Scheme in Rajasthan is not just about increasing the free electricity limit – it’s about empowering households with solar energy independence. By linking the scheme with rooftop solar, the government is ensuring long-term savings, reduced dependency on subsidies, and a greener future for Rajasthan.

If your household consumes 150 units or more per month, installing a solar system is now compulsory to keep enjoying free electricity benefits. With central and state subsidies combined, this is the best time to go solar in Rajasthan.
