The PM-KUSUM scheme aimed to solarize India's agricultural sector by replacing diesel pumps with solar water pumps. Over 10 lakh pumps were installed, adding 10,203 MW of solar power to the farming sector. Farmers benefited from reduced irrigation costs, saving ₹5,000 to ₹6,500 per acre annually. However, the scheme fell short of its target due to challenges like land availability and slow approvals.
