If your PM Surya Ghar application looks frozen, do not panic yet. In many cases, the file is moving between feasibility check, vendor action, installation, net metering, inspection, and subsidy release. The good part is that the official portal, app, and DISCOM channels now make tracking much easier than before.
Start With The Official Portal And App
The first place to check is the official PM Surya Ghar portal. The scheme runs through a national online process, and the Ministry has also pushed a dedicated mobile app that lets households track application progress, estimate savings, apply for subsidy support, and follow updates from one place. The app listing was updated on 29 May 2026 and says users can track their application status directly there.
For a quick reality check, remember this too: the scheme is large, active, and still expanding. A March 2026 PIB update said PM Surya Ghar had already reached 26 lakh installations, while a later official MNRE update on X said subsidy disbursal had crossed ₹22,244 crore as of 26 May 2026. So, delays do happen, but the pipeline is moving.
How To Track A Stuck PM Surya Ghar Application Step By Step
Open the official portal, sign in with your registered mobile number and OTP, then head to your dashboard. From there, check the latest stage shown against your rooftop solar request. The most common progress markers are registration, DISCOM review, vendor action, installation readiness, net metering, commissioning, and subsidy processing. The official consumer login page also points users to apply by selecting state, district, DISCOM, and consumer number, which is why matching your electricity account details is important.
Here is the cleanest tracking flow:
- Log in to the official PM Surya Ghar portal or app
- Check whether your consumer details match your electricity bill
- Review the current stage shown on the dashboard
- Call or email your empanelled vendor if installation has not moved
- Contact your DISCOM if feasibility, net metering, or commissioning is pending
- Raise a grievance on the official rooftop solar support page if nothing changes
What Each Delayed Status Usually Means
If feasibility is pending, your DISCOM may still be checking load or connection data. If installation is pending, the vendor may not have uploaded work completion details yet. If net metering or commissioning is pending, the DISCOM usually has to complete verification and meter work. If the subsidy is pending, your installation may be done, but the final approval chain may still be open. PIB said the portal now includes a simpler process, including auto load enhancement up to 10 kW and a net metering agreement built into the application flow.
Why Subsidy Claims Usually Get Delayed
Many applicants assume the subsidy lands right after panel installation. That is not how it works. Under the official rooftop solar programme, the subsidy is transferred directly to the consumer’s bank account only after successful installation and verification by the State DISCOM. That final verification step is where many files slow down.
The current subsidy slabs listed on myScheme are still the ones most people quote in 2026: ₹30,000 for up to 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, and up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above within the residential limits shown by the scheme.
Another point people miss is eligibility. The subsidy is meant for residential consumers, and your application details, bank details, rooftop system details, and DISCOM-linked consumer account all need to line up cleanly. One mismatch can hold the file longer than expected.

What To Do If Your Status Has Not Changed For Weeks
Start with your vendor. Then move to your DISCOM. If both keep passing the issue around, use the official grievance route. The national rooftop solar support page lists help channels for scheme queries and portal problems, while MNRE also publishes DISCOM contact details through the rooftop solar portal.
If your PM Surya Ghar application is stuck, do not leave it idle. Track the exact stage, fix any mismatch fast, and push the right agency. In 2026, the system is more digital than before, but it still rewards applicants who follow up at the right point.
