The Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is getting a good response across north Haryana, with an increasing number of consumers installing rooftop solar systems to generate electricity.
According to data of the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN), which covers 10 districts of north Haryana, the target is to install one lakh solar systems in residential households by March 31, 2027.
