PM-KUSUM Yojana Active Components.

Comprehensive solar solutions for every agricultural need

Component A - Setting Up Solar Power Plants (500 kW to 2 MW)

Farmers, groups of farmers, cooperatives, panchayats, FPOs, or Water User Associations (WUA) can set up solar power plants of 500 kW to 2 MW capacity. These entities are called Solar Power Generators (SPG). If they can't manage the required investment, they can partner with private developers or even the local DISCOM to build the plant. In such cases, the developer or DISCOM will act as the SPG.
DISCOMs will release a list of substations with available capacity and invite applications to set up solar plants. The electricity generated will be purchased by the DISCOMs at a feed-in-tariff (FiT) decided by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC).

Component C - Feeder Level Solarisation (FLS)

Instead of installing solar pumps for each farmer, states can choose to solarize entire agricultural feeders.
If agricultural feeders are not yet separated, loans can be taken from NABARD or PFC/REC for feeder separation. Support is also available under the RDSS scheme. Even mixed feeders (agriculture + non-agriculture) can be solarized.
Solar power plants can be set up to meet the full load of selected feeders, using either CAPEX or RESCO models, for a period of 25 years.
A subsidy (CFA) of 30% is available for the solar plant cost (up to ₹1.05 Cr/MW). In special areas like the North East, Ladakh, J&K, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar, the subsidy is 50% (up to ₹1.75 Cr/MW).
Farmers will receive reliable, daytime power for irrigation either free or at subsidized rates decided by their state.

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

1

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
2

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.
3

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.
4

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.
