The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme, launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in 2019, promotes renewable energy adoption in agriculture. It ensures energy security for farmers and aims to increase India’s share of electric power from non-fossil-fuel sources to 40% by 2030.

Key Components
Component A:
Decentralized Grid-Connected Power Plants
Set up solar or renewable energy plants from 500 kW to 2 MW.
Allows farmers to generate and sell surplus power.
Component B:
Standalone Solar Agriculture Pumps
Install solar pumps up to 7.5 HP.
Replaces diesel pumps, reduces costs, and minimizes environmental impact.
Component C:
Solarization of Grid-Connected Pumps
Integrate solar energy into existing grid-connected pumps.
Reduces electricity bills and ensures reliable energy for irrigation.

Eligibility
Eligible entities include individual farmers, SHGs, JLGs, cooperatives, Panchayats, FPOs, and WUAs.

Financial Support
Loan Details
Component A: 70% loan, 30% borrower contribution.
Components B and C: 30% loan, 10% borrower contribution, 60% subsidy.
Competitive interest rates and repayment terms of 7 to 15 years.

Security and Insurance
Secured through asset hypothecation, land mortgage, and Power Purchase Agreement.
Comprehensive insurance for financed assets.

Implementation and Due Diligence
Projects undergo thorough due diligence, and implementation follows MNRE guidelines. The scheme falls under Priority Sector: Agriculture-Farm Credit, supporting sustainable agricultural development through renewable energy.

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) Yojana is an initiative launched by the Government of India under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to promote the use of solar energy among farmers and enhance their income while reducing dependence on traditional power sources. The scheme is divided into three main components. Under Component-A, farmers, cooperatives, and panchayats can install solar power plants up to 2 MW capacity on their barren or unused land and sell the generated electricity to DISCOMs, thereby earning regular income. Component-B focuses on providing standalone solar pumps to farmers who do not have access to the power grid, allowing them to irrigate their fields without relying on expensive diesel. Component-C involves solarizing existing grid-connected agricultural pumps so that farmers can use solar energy for irrigation and sell any surplus electricity back to the grid. Overall, PM-KUSUM aims to ensure energy security for farmers, promote clean energy, and support sustainable agricultural practices in India.

At HINDOLO POWER, we are proud to be at the forefront of the global energy transition – to shift from traditional fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy sources like solar power.

We believe that energy should be sustainable, affordable, and accessible for everyone. Our solar solutions are helping individuals, farmers and industries move away from polluting energy sources and towards a greener, more resilient future.

Why This Transition Matters

1. Climate Action: Reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps fight climate change.
2. Energy Security: Reduces dependence on fossil fuels and unstable grid supply.
3. Economic Benefits: Saves money on energy bills and boosts local green jobs.
4. Decentralised Power: Empowers people to produce their own clean energy.

Whether you’re a homeowner, a farmer, a school, or a factory – your rooftop can lead to change.
With HINDOLO POWER, you’re not just adopting solar technology –
You’re joining the movement towards a cleaner, smarter energy future.
