In Short : The PM-KUSUM scheme has benefited more than 21.77 lakh farmers by promoting solar-powered irrigation and decentralized renewable energy. The initiative supports installation of solar pumps, feeder solarization, and grid-connected renewable plants. By reducing diesel dependence and lowering electricity costs, the scheme enhances farmer income, improves energy access, and accelerates rural clean energy adoption
In Detail : PM-KUSUM is a demand-driven scheme, and capacities are allocated based on the demand raised by the state and milestones achieved. The responsibility of beneficiary selection and implementation is of the State Implementing Agency (SIA).
As reported by SIAs, details of solar agriculture pumps and solar plants installed, along with installed capacity under PM-KUSUM till 31.12.2025 is as follows:
