PM Surya Ghar Subsidy in Nizamabad 2026 — Complete Guide
Updated May 2026 | By Sri Ishaan Solar Team
Nizamabad district — Telangana's turmeric capital — is seeing a fast rise in rooftop solar adoption. If you own a home in Nizamabad city, Bodhan, Armoor, or anywhere under TSNPDCL jurisdiction, you can claim up to ₹78,000 in central government subsidy through the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Here is everything you need to know to claim it in 2026.
What Is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
Launched by the Government of India in February 2024, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (also called PM Surya Ghar or PMSG) provides a direct bank subsidy to residential households installing on-grid rooftop solar systems. The scheme targets 1 crore households nationally and is administered through MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy).
Key facts for Nizamabad applicants:
- Subsidy is credited directly to your bank account — no middleman
- Your DISCOM is TSNPDCL (Telangana Northern Power Distribution Company of Limited)
- Applications are online at pmsuryaghar.gov.in
- Only MNRE/TGREDCO empanelled vendors like Sri Ishaan Solar (Reg: TSRE260936) can complete the installation
- There is no separate Telangana state top-up currently active — the central subsidy is the only direct scheme

Solar in Nizamabad — Local Context
Nizamabad district receives around 5.5–5.8 peak sun hours per day — among the higher values in Telangana — making rooftop solar especially productive here. A 3 kW system in Nizamabad can generate approximately 390–420 units per month during summer.
Turmeric farmers and homeowners in Nizamabad are increasingly combining rooftop solar with grid-export to offset electricity bills used for irrigation pumps, cold storage, and household loads. For agricultural pump connections, a separate scheme called PM-KUSUM applies — speak to a Sri Ishaan Solar advisor to identify the right programme for your use case.
