TN Rooftop Solar Subsidy Up to ₹1 Lakh; 20,000 EV Charging Stations Planned

Why this matters to Tamil Nadu

For Tamil Nadu households, especially those with high electricity bills, the rooftop solar subsidy combined with the national PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana creates a genuine opportunity to slash monthly electricity costs and potentially earn money by feeding surplus power back to the grid. Smart meters in Chennai will allow consumers to track and manage consumption in real time. For the state's overall energy security, the plan to add 10 GW of solar and 2 GW of wind over five years — backed by a BESS policy — addresses Tamil Nadu's projected power demand crossing 37,000 MW by 2035–36.
