Collector S. Kandasamy on Wednesday (July 23, 2025) visited the residence of a beneficiary in N.G.G.O. Colony in the city to review the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, a rooftop solar electricity scheme implemented through the Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL).

She noted that her electricity bill had dropped to just ₹300 for two months, compared to ₹1,500–1,800 earlier. A TNPDCL official said the scheme, launched in the State on February 29, 2024, promotes clean and sustainable energy while helping households cut down on electricity expenses.

The subsidy is credited directly to the beneficiary's bank account within a week of installation and commissioning.
