Rajasthan 150 Unit Nishulk Bijli Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

• The Rajasthan Government introduced the revamped free electricity scheme named 150 Unit Nishulk Bijli Yojana, on 14 October 2025.
• On the same day, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah inaugurated the official portal of the scheme.
• Earlier, the state ran the Mukhyamantri Nishulk Bijli Yojana during the Congress government, which offered free electricity for the first 100 units per month.
• With the new scheme, the government increased this benefit to 150 units per month and linked it with rooftop solar adoption.
• The primary aim of this initiative is to reduce the electricity bill burden on households and promote green energy through rooftop solar power plants.
• The Energy Department of Rajasthan implements the scheme across the state with support from the following three DISCOMs i.e. Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited and Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited.
• Under the scheme, the Rajasthan Government provides free electricity up to 150 units every month.
• However, to receive this benefit, applicants must install a minimum 1.1 kW rooftop solar power plant under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana of the Central Government.
• This condition makes the scheme applicable only to households that have sufficient rooftop space and are willing to install a solar plant.
• Eligible applicants can receive a Rs. 33,000 subsidy from the Central Government under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
• Later, on 07 November 2025, the Rajasthan Government announced an additional Rs. 17,000 subsidy for beneficiaries who install rooftop solar systems.
• DISCOMs also provide smart electricity meters free of cost to eligible households.
• Only those consumers who already hold registration under the Mukhyamantri Nishulk Bijli Yojana can claim benefits under this new scheme.
• To begin the process, the applicant must submit consent on the Official Website of the 150 Unit Nishulk Bijli Yojana, confirming readiness to install a rooftop solar plant.
• In the next step, the applicant must apply under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
• After the solar plant installation and DISCOM verification, beneficiaries start receiving zero-amount electricity bills for consumption up to 150 units per month.
• The government estimates that around 1.04 crore registered beneficiaries will receive benefits under this scheme across Rajasthan.
• For assistance or guidance, applicants can contact their nearest DISCOM office.
