🌞 Implementation Focus on Agra, Mathura, and Firozabad

These three cities are part of Uttar Pradesh's ambitious solar goals and are specifically targeted under the state's solar energy initiatives:

• Solar City Initiative: The Uttar Pradesh Solar Energy Policy 2022 included plans to transform sixteen Nagar Nigam (Municipal Corporation) cities into "Solar Cities," which specifically names Agra and Mathura/Vrindavan, along with Firozabad. This drives strong local government promotion and support for the PM Surya Ghar scheme.

• Targeted Installations in Agra: News reports indicate that the Agra Smart City project, which aligns with the PM Surya Ghar scheme, has an aggressive goal of establishing 1.3 lakh rooftop solar power plants in the district.

• Regional Vendor Network: Local solar companies have confirmed their operations across Agra, Mathura, and Firozabad, indicating an established vendor network for installation and service under the UPNEDA/DISCOM empanelment process.
