Consumers who applied from August 5 are eligible for combined Central and State government subsidies under a solar scheme launched by Tamil Nadu’s Energy Resources Minister. The support is listed at ₹35,000 for a 1kW system, ₹70,000 for 2kW and ₹1,00,000 for 3kW.

Tamil Nadu’s Energy Resources Minister has launched a state solar subsidy scheme, according to the supplied material from The Hindu. Consumers who applied from August 5 are eligible for a combined subsidy provided by the Central and State governments. The material does not specify the launch date or identify the minister by name.

The subsidy varies according to the capacity of the solar installation. Applicants for a 1 kilowatt system are eligible for ₹35,000, while those seeking a 2kW system can receive ₹70,000. The support rises to ₹1,00,000 for a 3kW system.

The figures are presented as combined Central and State government assistance rather than as separate amounts from the two administrations. The supplied information does not explain how consumers can apply, what equipment or installation conditions apply, or when payments will be made. It also does not state how many households or consumers are covered by the programme, the total budget, or whether applications remain open.

The available facts establish the eligibility date and the three subsidy levels, but provide no further operational details about the scheme.
