What is the PM-KUSUM Scheme?

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) Scheme is a massive government program aimed at ensuring energy security for farmers in India. It focuses on replacing polluting and expensive diesel pumps with reliable, clean solar agricultural pumps.

How does the subsidy structure work?

The financial assistance provided under PM-KUSUM is highly lucrative for farmers:

Central Financial Assistance (CFA): The MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) provides a flat 30% to 60% baseline subsidy on the cost of standalone solar pumps.
State Government Subsidy: State governments (like in West Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand) typically contribute an additional 30%.
Farmer Contribution: Thanks to the combined 60-90% subsidy, the farmer is usually only required to pay 10% to 40% of the total cost out of pocket. Bank financing is available for this portion.
