Why PM-KUSUM is a Game-Changer for Farmers and Solar Developers
Addressing unique agricultural challenges with solar solutions
Agricultural Landscape
Extra Income for Farmers
Farmers can sell surplus solar power to DISCOMs and earn a stable, long-term income.
Reduced Irrigation Costs
Solar pumps reduce dependence on diesel and grid electricity, lowering farming expenses.
Sustainable Farming
Reliable, daytime solar power supports eco-friendly, water-efficient irrigation practices.
Solar Solutions
Energy Security in Rural Areas
Localized solar generation strengthens energy access and reliability for agriculture.
Clean Energy Promotion
Encourages the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy in rural India.
Opportunities for Developers
Developers get assured power purchase agreements (PPAs), stable returns and government support.
Supports Long-Term Growth
Builds a self-reliant, sustainable rural economy aligned with India’s climate goals.
Implementation Stages of PM-KUSUM
Simple steps to get solar solutions for your farm
Bidding Support
Assistance is provided to farmers or developers in participating in tenders released under PM-KUSUM.
This includes:
- Guidance on eligibility and documentation
- Filling application forms and submitting bids on time
SPV Formation & PPA Support
- Help in forming a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) — a legal entity to manage the project (especially useful for group projects or developers).
- Support in signing Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with DISCOMs to ensure guaranteed offtake of solar power at a regulated tariff.
Financial Assistance for Loan
- Preparation of DPR (Detailed Project Report)
- Help with required documentation, loan proposals and linking with institutions like NABARD, PFC, REC, etc.
Project Execution
Complete project delivery, including:
- Design Work: Preparation of electrical and civil drawings as per DISCOM/SNA norms
- Approvals: Getting necessary permits and clearances from local authorities, DISCOMs, etc.
- Procurement & Installation: Purchase of solar panels, inverters and other BoS components
- I&C (Installation & Commissioning): Setting up the system on-site and connecting to the grid or load
- O&M (Operation & Maintenance): Long-term support to ensure smooth operation of the solar system for 25 years
Financial Benefits & Subsidies
Attractive financial incentives make solar adoption affordable
Subsidy Structure
Component A: Centralized Solar Plants (up to 2 MW)
- No direct capital subsidy to farmers.
- Farmers can lease land to a developer (earning rent).
- Develop the plant themselves (with bank financing).
Component C: Solarisation of Existing Grid-Connected Pumps
- Rs 1.05 Cr/MW Central Subsidy
- Rs 0.50 Cr/MW State Subsidy*
- Collateral free loan facility
Cost Savings
- Power sold to DISCOM under long-term PPA (usually 25 years) at ₹3 - ₹3.50/unit ensures stable ROI.
- Farmer-investors can earn returns of 12 - 15% per year if they develop the solar plant themselves.
- Low maintenance cost: panels last 25 years, minimal O&M needed.
Additional Income Opportunities
- Big “Dual Income” Potential
- Land Rental Income - Farmers lease barren/fallow land to a solar developer.
- If panels are installed on elevated agrovoltaic structures, farmers can continue farming under panels (shade-tolerant crops, fodder, vegetables).
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PM-KUSUM implementation in India
Who is eligible for PM-KUSUM scheme in India?
Any farmer, group of farmers, panchayats, cooperatives, farmer producer organizations (FPOs), and water user associations can apply for PM-KUSUM. Individual farmers need to have irrigated land and valid documents including Aadhaar card and land records.
How long does it take to install a solar pump?
After application approval and subsidy processing, the installation typically takes 15–20 days. The entire process from application to commissioning takes approximately 2–3 months, depending on documentation and approvals.
Can I sell surplus power to the grid in India?
Yes, under Component C of PM-KUSUM, you can sell surplus power to the grid at a rate of ₹4–5 per kWh. This applies to grid-connected solar pumps where you can use power for irrigation during the day and sell excess power to BSEB (India State Electricity Board).
What is the warranty period for solar pumps?
Solar pumps come with a comprehensive warranty: 25 years for solar panels, 5 years for inverters/controllers, and 2 years for pump motors. We also provide 5 years of free annual maintenance and monitoring services.
Are there any special provisions for women farmers in India?
Yes, the Indian government provides additional incentives for women farmers under PM-KUSUM. Women farmers get priority in processing and additional financial support through various state schemes. Special training programs are also conducted for women farmers.
