Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY)

The Uttarakhand government introduced the Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana to support small and marginal farmers and young entrepreneurs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by helping them establish a stable and reliable source of monthly income.

Under the Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY), barren or mountainous land—where traditional farming is difficult—can be utilized to set up solar power projects, generating a passive income of up to ₹1.5 lakh per month*. To encourage participation, the state government also provides financial support in the form of loans and subsidies, making solar installation more accessible and affordable.

Financing the Solar Plant

Under the Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana, the cost of installing a solar power plant ranges from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore, based on a benchmark rate of ₹50,000 per kilowatt for systems sized between 20 kW and 200 kW. To support beneficiaries, up to 75% of the project cost is available as a loan from government banks at interest rates of up to 9% per annum, with a maximum repayment tenure of 15 years. In addition, the Uttarakhand government offers capital subsidies of up to 50% on the solar plant cost under the Chief Minister Self-Employment Scheme managed by the MSME Department. The state government also provides interest subsidies, covering a portion of the loan interest. Both capital and interest subsidies under the Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana vary based on the location of the solar plant, further enhancing the overall financial benefits for eligible applicants.

The state subsidy rates for different districts are as follows:

  • This scheme is only for Uttarakhand residents who are 18 years or older.
  • Only 1 member per family can set up the solar plant under MSSY.

Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY)

The Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY) is a flagship initiative by the Uttarakhand Government aimed at promoting solar-based self-employment. This scheme enables individuals to set up grid-connected solar power plants and earn a stable monthly income by selling electricity to the state power utility.

Unlike residential solar schemes, the Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY) focuses on income generation, entrepreneurship, and rural employment. It empowers farmers, unemployed youth, and local residents to become solar power producers rather than just consumers.

 

What Is Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY)?

The Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY) allows eligible individuals to install solar power plants ranging from 20 kW to 200 kW on private or leased land. The generated electricity is sold to the power distribution company under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

This makes MSSY a powerful tool for:

  • Employment generation

  • Rural income stability

  • Renewable energy expansion

  • Financial independence

Objectives of Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana

The core objectives of Mukhyamantri Saur Swarojgar Yojana (MSSY) include:

Through MSSY, the government aligns economic growth with environmental sustainability.
