Mr. Sai stated that in Chhattisgarh, solar power users are emerging as both producers and contributors to the energy sector, reinforcing the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clean energy commitment.

Direct Subsidy Transfer to Consumers

In a major step to support households, the Chief Minister transferred Rs. 1.85 crore of the state subsidy directly into the bank accounts of 618 consumers, each receiving Rs. 30,000 under the scheme. He noted that such incentives, coupled with awareness programs, are encouraging more citizens to embrace solar power.

Tackling Climate Change with Renewable Energy

Highlighting the seriousness of climate change and rising pollution, Mr. Sai said that Chhattisgarh is working with full commitment to achieve the national target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. He appealed to citizens to spread awareness about clean energy and motivate others to join the solar energy revolution.

Central and State Schemes Driving Energy Transformation

The Chief Minister mentioned that people in Chhattisgarh are increasingly benefiting from Central and State subsidies as well as easy financial support from banks. He also highlighted the PM KUSUM Yojana, which empowers consumers to generate solar power, sell electricity, and access affordable energy at the same time.

Expanding Energy Generation Capacity

When Chhattisgarh was formed in 2000, the state’s power generation capacity was 1,400 MW. Today, the state produces 30,000 MW and even supplies electricity to neighbouring states. Mr. Sai shared that under the new Industrial Policy, Memorandums of Understanding worth Rs. 3.50 lakh crore have been signed in the energy sector, which will further increase the state’s generation capacity.

Vision for Chhattisgarh as a Power Leader

Expressing confidence in the state’s progress, the Chief Minister said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chhattisgarh will emerge as the leading state in power generation across the country.
