This guide explains which portal to use, what details you need, how to read common status messages, what to do when the status does not change and how to check whether your capital subsidy has been released.
Quick Answer
To check a Delhi rooftop solar application, first identify the portal and electricity authority used when you applied. For Delhi state capital-subsidy status, open the official Delhi Solar Portal capital-subsidy page and enter your Consumer Account (CA) Number. For an application submitted through the PM Surya Ghar National Portal, sign in through the official consumer login and open your application dashboard. NDMC applicants should use the separate NDMC Track Status page.
Do not use your vendor’s internal status as final proof. Confirm the stage on the government, DISCOM or NDMC portal and save screenshots of the status, application number and any pending-action message.
Which Status Portal Should You Use?
| Your application route | Where to check | What you may need |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi state capital subsidy | Delhi Solar Portal Capital Subsidy Status | Consumer Account (CA) Number |
| PM Surya Ghar central subsidy | PM Surya Ghar Consumer Login | Registered mobile number, consumer details and OTP |
| NDMC electricity area | NDMC Track Status | Registered login or application details |
| DISCOM-specific application | Applicable BSES, TPDDL or other official DISCOM solar portal | Consumer number, application reference or registered mobile |
Use the portal connected to your electricity account. A Delhi address alone does not tell you which status page will display your application.
How to Check Delhi Solar Portal Subsidy Status
Step 1: Keep your electricity bill ready
Find your Consumer Account Number, often shown as a CA number or another consumer identifier, on your latest electricity bill. Enter the number exactly as shown. Do not add spaces or change digits unless the portal instructions tell you to do so.
Step 2: Open the official Delhi status page
Open the Delhi Solar Portal Capital Subsidy Status page. The official page asks for the Consumer Account Number to check whether the capital subsidy has been released.
Check the domain before entering your CA number. Avoid unofficial websites that ask for an OTP, UPI PIN, card PIN, banking password or a payment to show your status.
Step 3: Enter your CA number
Enter the Consumer Account Number shown on your electricity bill and submit the form. If the portal displays a result, save the page or take a screenshot showing the date and status.
Step 4: Read the subsidy result carefully
The capital-subsidy status page is mainly for checking whether the Delhi capital subsidy has been released. It may not show every installation-stage detail, such as vendor selection, site inspection or net-metering progress. For those stages, use the application dashboard or the relevant DISCOM/NDMC status page.
How to Check PM Surya Ghar Application Status
If you applied through the PM Surya Ghar National Portal, use the official consumer login rather than relying on a vendor’s screenshot.
- Open the official PM Surya Ghar Consumer Login.
- Enter the registered mobile number or the login details requested by the portal.
- Complete OTP verification if prompted.
- Select your rooftop-solar application from the dashboard.
- Read the current stage and any pending action.
- Download or screenshot the status for your records.
The exact labels and dashboard layout can change as the portal is updated. Follow the current instructions shown after login.
How to Check NDMC Solar Application Status
NDMC has a separate solar portal for applications under its area. Use the NDMC Track Status page if your application was submitted through NDMC.
NDMC describes a process that can include:
- Request submitted.
- Document verification.
- NOC generated.
- Request approved.
- Net-meter installation after the required process.
Do not interpret “Request Submitted” as final approval. It means the request has entered the process; document verification and approval may still be pending.
What Do Common Application Statuses Mean?
Application submitted
Your form has been received by the portal. It does not necessarily mean that feasibility, documents or the vendor have been approved.
Document verification pending
The authority is checking the submitted bill, identity, roof-rights, ownership, NOC or other documents. Keep your phone available in case clarification is requested.
Feasibility pending
The DISCOM is checking whether the proposed rooftop system can be connected under the applicable technical and network conditions. Do not install or change the proposed capacity without confirming the required approval route.
Feasibility approved
The application has passed the relevant connection-feasibility stage. You may now need to select or confirm an eligible vendor and complete the installation steps shown on the portal.
Vendor selection pending
You may need to choose an eligible or empanelled vendor, accept an agreement or upload vendor details. Check the portal instructions rather than selecting a vendor only because it promises a fixed subsidy.
Installation pending
The portal has not received or accepted the required installation-completion information. Ask the vendor whether the installation details, photographs, equipment information and completion report have been uploaded.
Net-metering pending
The rooftop system may be installed, but the bidirectional/net meter, inspection or connection process is not complete. Solar installation and net-meter approval are separate steps.
Inspection pending
The DISCOM or authority may still need to inspect the system, documents, meter and connection. Keep the installation accessible and retain photographs and invoices.
Commissioning pending
The system has not yet reached the final commissioning stage required for the subsidy workflow. Ask the vendor or DISCOM which document or action is still pending.
Subsidy processing
The installation and commissioning information is being checked for subsidy release. Confirm that bank details, account name and cancelled cheque requirements are complete.
Subsidy released or disbursed
The subsidy has been marked as released or paid under that particular process. Check the bank account linked to the application and save the status record.
Rejected or returned
Read the exact reason. It may relate to a consumer-number mismatch, missing roof-rights proof, wrong DISCOM, incomplete documents, technical feasibility, vendor details or bank information. Correct the stated issue through the official route instead of creating a duplicate application.
What to Do If the Status Is Not Updating
A status may remain unchanged when the next action belongs to the vendor, DISCOM, NDMC or the consumer. First identify which party owns the pending step.
- Note the application number and current status.
- Check whether the portal shows a pending document or action.
- Compare the submitted consumer number and name with your electricity bill.
- Ask the vendor for the exact portal stage and upload acknowledgement.
- Contact the relevant DISCOM or authority using its official contact details.
- Keep copies of emails, receipts, screenshots, invoices and inspection records.
- Use the official grievance or escalation route if the delay continues.
Do not submit multiple new applications simply because the first one is slow. Duplicate applications can create confusion and may require correction.
Why Can a Delhi Solar Application Be Delayed?
- The electricity consumer name does not match the applicant.
- The wrong CA number or consumer number was entered.
- The wrong DISCOM or authority was selected.
- The latest paid electricity bill is missing.
- Roof ownership or occupancy proof is incomplete.
- Owner, tenant or RWA consent is missing.
- Feasibility or sanctioned-load review is pending.
- The vendor has not uploaded installation details.
- Net-meter inspection or meter installation is pending.
- The commissioning report has not been generated.
- Bank details or cancelled cheque information is incorrect.
- Subsidy verification is still in progress.
Documents You May Need for a Status Complaint
If you contact a DISCOM, Delhi Solar Portal team, NDMC or vendor, keep these records ready:
- Application number or reference number.
- Consumer Account or CA number.
- Latest paid electricity bill.
- Registered mobile number and email.
- Feasibility approval, if available.
- Vendor agreement and quotation.
- Installation photographs.
- Net-meter application and inspection details.
- Commissioning report.
- Bank submission acknowledgement.
- Previous emails, complaint numbers and screenshots.

Application Status and Subsidy Status Are Not the Same
This is an important distinction:
- Application status: Shows where your rooftop-solar request is in the registration, feasibility, vendor, installation, net-metering or commissioning process.
- Capital-subsidy status: Shows whether the relevant Delhi capital subsidy has been released.
- Central subsidy status: May be handled through the PM Surya Ghar workflow and its consumer dashboard.
- Bank status: Shows whether money has actually reached the account linked to the application.
A portal may show that installation is complete while subsidy is still under verification. Conversely, a capital-subsidy page may show a result without displaying every net-metering step.

Conclusion
Checking your Delhi solar portal application status is not always a single-page process. The correct route depends on whether you applied for Delhi capital subsidy, PM Surya Ghar central subsidy, DISCOM net metering or an NDMC solar connection.
Start with your electricity bill and application records, use the official status page for your route, and distinguish between application progress, net-metering progress, commissioning and actual subsidy release. If the status is stuck, identify the pending party and follow up with documents and the official application number.
