He informed that the total cost of the solar plant came to Rs 1 lakh 85 thousand, out of which a subsidy of Rs 78 thousand has been received from the central government and a subsidy of 30 thousand rupees is going to be received soon from the state government.
Jamsher Mohammed told that earlier his monthly electricity bill used to come from two and a half to three thousand rupees. On receiving information about PM Suryaghar Yojana, he contacted the electricity department and completed the process and took advantage of the scheme.
