We are going to be straight with you about this one, because the honest answer is that sources disagree and we are not willing to guess with your money.
The central subsidy is certain. Under PM Surya Ghar you receive Rs 30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW, plus Rs 18,000 for the third kilowatt, capping at Rs 78,000 for any system of 3 kW or larger. That applies in Faridabad, Gurugram and everywhere else in Haryana exactly as it does across India.
The state top-up is where it gets murky. Some sources list a Haryana state component of around Rs 10,000 per kW capped near Rs 20,000. Others state plainly that Haryana currently offers no additional state subsidy beyond the central amount. Both positions appear in recent material. We have not been able to establish which is currently correct, and rather than pick the more flattering number and hope, we would rather tell you to check.
How to actually find out. Confirm your DISCOM from your electricity bill, which will be either Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam or Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam. Faridabad and Gurugram generally fall under DHBVN. Contact them directly, and check hareda.gov.in, the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency site. Ask specifically whether a state top-up is currently active, what the per-kW amount and cap are, and what documentation the claim requires.
Why this matters practically. A Rs 20,000 difference is not trivial on a Rs 2 lakh purchase, and it is exactly the sort of figure an installer might quote optimistically to make their proposal look better. If a quotation depends on a state subsidy, ask the installer to document it. A vendor who cannot point you to the scheme in writing is quoting from hearsay.
What Haryana does have going for it regardless. Both UHBVN and DHBVN operate under the same regulatory framework for net metering, set by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission. Surplus generation is exported and credited against consumption, monthly credits carry forward, and remaining surplus at annual settlement is compensated at a rate the commission sets. That settlement rate is typically lower than the retail tariff you pay, which is a good reason not to grossly oversize your system.
Gurugram has one local quirk worth knowing. In some private developer townships and gated communities, electricity comes through a private management company rather than directly from the DISCOM. If your bill does not come from UHBVN or DHBVN, the standard net metering route may work differently for you. Ask your society management before collecting quotes.
The installer market in Faridabad and Gurugram is genuinely competitive, and DHBVN processing is reasonably efficient by national standards. That competitiveness is worth more to you than a marginal state subsidy, provided you actually collect two or three quotes rather than accepting the first.
Whatever the state position, the central conditions are unchanged. Portal-registered installer, DCR-compliant panels, feasibility approval before installation, grid-connected with net metering, one subsidy per connection. Get all of that right and the Rs 78,000 is yours regardless of how the state question resolves.
Start at pmsuryaghar.gov.in, confirm your DISCOM from your bill, and submit feasibility before approaching any installer.
