TPCODL waives off processing fees for Rooftop solar systems under PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana
Bhubaneswar, June 07, 2025: TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL), a joint venture of Tata Power and Government of Odisha, has stepped up its campaign to accelerate solar rooftop installations across Central Odisha under the PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGMBY).
For the benefit of its consumers, TPCODL has waived the net metering processing fee of ₹500 for rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana. This eliminates the process of online demand note generation and payment through the payment gateway.
Earlier TPCODL had eliminated the requirement of technical feasibility study for systems up to 10 kw and had also minimised the time taken for site inspection , net metering agreement signing, net meter installation etc. by making the Section Manager the single point contact for all such activities.
In order to make the scheme more and more consumer friendly, TPCODL continuously endeavours to simplify processes within the regulatory framework.
TPCODL encourages all its residential customers to set up rooftop solar power system, generate own green power and save on electricity bills. Attractive central and state financial assistance is available to all residential consumers that ensures return of investment within three years.
Arvind Singh, CEO, TPCODL, said, “Our commitment to promoting renewable energy solutions is unwavering. This campaign is not just about installing solar rooftops; it’s about creating a lasting change to provide a sustainable future for our communities. We aim to empower residents and businesses to embrace solar energy and contribute to a greener Odisha.”
