The main objectives of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) include de-dieselisation of the farm sector, providing water and energy security to farmers, increasing the income of farmers and curbing environmental pollution. The Scheme has three components targeted to achieve solar power capacity addition of 30.8 GW by 31.3.2026 with total central financial support of Rs. 34422 Cr. Other salient features of the Scheme are given at Annexure-I.
State-wise targets or fund allocation is not made under PM-KUSUM, as it is a demand driven scheme. The capacities are allocated based on demand received from the states/ UTs. Further, the funds are released to States/UTs on achieving certain milestones.
State/UT-wise standalone solar pumps allocated and installations achieved so far are placed at Annexure-II.
The state-wise and year-wise details of the funds released under the Scheme during the last three years and the current year, including Tamil Nadu, Assam and Jharkhand are placed at Annexure III.
Major steps, including new initiatives, taken by the Government to achieve PM KUSUM targets in timely manner are furnished at Annexure IV.

Financial Assistance available
|
|
The Scheme is demand driven and open for all farmers of the country for implementation as per guidelines issued for the Scheme
Component A: Setting up of 10,000 MW of Decentralized Ground/Stilt Mounted Solar Power Plants on barren/fallow/pasture/marshy/ cultivable land of farmers. Such plants can be installed by individual farmer, Solar Power Developer, Cooperatives, Panchayats and Farmers Producer Organisations.
Component B: Installation of 20 Lakh Stand-alone Solar Pumps in off-grid areas.
Component C: Solarisation of 15 Lakh Grid Connected Agriculture Pumps through (i) Individual Pump Solarisation and (ii) Feeder Level Solarisation.
The beneficiaries under Component-B and Component-C could be individual farmer, Water User Associations, Primary Agriculture Credit Societies and Communities/Cluster Based Irrigation Systems.
|
Procurement Based Incentive (PBI) to the DISCOMs @ 40 paise/kWh or Rs.6.60 lakhs/MW/year, whichever is lower, for buying solar/ other renewable power under this scheme. The PBI is given to the DISCOMs for a period of five years from the Commercial Operation Date of the plant. Therefore, the total PBI payable to DISCOMs is Rs. 33 Lakh per MW.
For Component-B and individual pump solarisation under Component-C:
CFA of 30% of the benchmark cost issued by MNRE or the prices of the systems discovered in the tender, whichever is lower is provided. However, in North Eastern States including Sikkim, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Lakshadweep and A&N Islands, CFA of 50% of the benchmark cost issued by MNRE or the prices of the systems discovered in the tender, whichever is lower, is provided. In addition, the respective state/UT has to provide at least 30% financial support. Balance cost is to be contributed by beneficiary.
For agriculture feeder solarization, CFA of Rs
1.05 Crore per MW is provided. There is no mandatory requirement of financial support from participating State/UT. The feeder solarisation
can be implemented in CAPEX or RESCO mode.

- PM-KUSUM Scheme has been extended till 31.03.2026.
- Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is available for pump capacity up to 15 HP (increased from 7.5 HP) to the individual farmers in the North-eastern States, UTs of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, States of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh and Island UTs of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep, and for each farmer in the cluster/ community irrigation projects in high water table areas in all the States/ UTs.
- Meetings with Banks/FIs for availability of low cost financing to farmers.
- State level tender allowed for procurement of standalone solar pumps
- Time period extended for implementation to 24 months from the date of initial sanction.
- Requirement of performance bank guarantees under Component-A and Component- C (Feeder Level Solarization) relaxed.
- Tender conditions have been revised to increase the installer base in order to expedite extending benefit under the Scheme.
- Solarization of pumps under the Scheme included under Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) to provide subsidized loans to farmers.
- Scheme included under Priority Sector Lending (PSL) Guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to enable ease of accessing finance. Further, a number of banks have issued lending guidelines for the Scheme.
- Specifications & testing procedure of the solar pumps have been revised time to time to promote quality of installations.
- Web-Portals at Central and at State levels have been developed for monitoring of Scheme.
- Creating publicity and awareness including through CPSUs.
- Toll free number provided for ease of getting information on the Scheme.
- Regular monitoring of the progress and issuance of clarifications and amendments to the scheme guidelines based on lessons learnt during implementation and feedback from stakeholders
