PM-KUSUM is a transformative initiative aimed at promoting solar energy in agriculture.
Learn how this scheme supports farmers, boosts renewable energy adoption, and contributes to India's sustainable development goals.

Key Features of the Scheme

PM-KUSUM focuses on three main components: installation of standalone solar pumps, solarization of existing grid-connected pumps, and development of decentralized solar power plants. Farmers can benefit from reduced electricity costs, increased reliability of energy supply, and opportunities to sell surplus power back to the grid. The scheme also emphasizes financial support, offering subsidies to make solar technology more accessible to rural communities.
