PM Kusum Yojana Online Registration / Application Form 2024 [Apply to Get 90% Subsidy on Solar Pumps]

By

The Central government has announced the commencement of online registration/application for the Kusum Yojana in 2024. Under the Kisan Urja Suraksha Utthan Mahabhiyan (KUSUM) Scheme, the Union government aims to provide 3 crore solar pumps to farmers by the fiscal year 2022-23. These subsidized solar agricultural pump sets will replace existing pumps that run on electricity and diesel.

Previously, the official website for the Solar Agriculture Pumps Subsidy Yojana was kusum.online; however, it is now closed. Farmers are encouraged to participate in the online registration process to avail themselves of the benefits under the Kusum Yojana for solar pump installation.

What is PM Kusum Yojana 2024

Through the PM Kusum Yojana, the government aims to offer subsidized solar agricultural pump sets to farmers. The key objective of the Kusum Scheme 2024 is to equip farmers with advanced technology for power generation. These solar pumps provide dual benefits by facilitating irrigation and enabling farmers to produce clean energy. With integrated power grids, farmers can sell surplus energy directly to the government, thereby augmenting their income.

Furthermore, farmers have the opportunity to utilize unproductive land for solar energy generation, establishing solar power plants to generate electricity. They can sell the excess electricity, creating a sustainable livelihood. The KUSUM Yojana, as introduced by the central government, aims to boost solar power production and encourage solar farming for the welfare of farmers. PM-KUSUM scheme is one of the largest initiatives in the world to provide clean energy to more than 3.5 million farmers by solarising their agriculture pumps. PM-KUSUM scheme aims to support installation of additional solar capacity of 30.80 GW.

PM Kusum Scheme 2024 Parts

The various parts of Kusum Scheme 2024 are as follows:-

  • Solar Pumps Distribution – In Kusum Yojana, the power department in association with departments of the central govt. are going to work towards the successful distribution of solar powered pumps.
  • Construction of Solar Power Factory – This includes the construction of solar power plants which would have a capacity to produce significant amount of power.
  • Setting up tubewells – Kusum scheme includes setting up of tubewells which are also going to generate certain amount of power.
  • Modernization of present Pumps – Only the production of power is not one of the aim of this Kusum Scheme 2024. The final component of Kusum scheme deals with the modernization of pumps which are currently in use and to replace old pumps by solar pumps.

In addition, banks would also provide 30% extra of total expenses as bank loans to farmers. Now the farmers would only have to spend the upfront cost and is around 10% of total cost to set up these solar projects.

Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan – Kusum Scheme Components

The proposed Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (Kusum scheme) will consist of three components:-

Component A – 10,000 MW of Decentralized Ground Mounted Grid Connected Renewable Power Plants. This component will be implemented on pilot mode for 1000 MW capacity. Under component A, renewable power plants of 500 KW to 2 MW capacity would be setup by individual farmers / cooperatives / panchayats /farmer producer organisations (FPO) on their barren or cultivable lands. The remaining power generated is going to be purchased by the DISCOMs at feed in tariffs determined by respective SERC. Kusum Scheme is going to provide a stable and continuous source of income to the rural land owners. Moreover, DISCOMs will get Performance Based Incentives @ Rs. 0.40 per unit for 5 years.

Component B – Installation of 17.50 lakh standalone solar powered agriculture pumps. Under this component, individual farmers are going to be supported to install standalone solar pumps of capacity up to 7.5 Horse Power. People are also allowed to open Solar PV having capacity in kW which is equal to the pump capacity in HP.

Component C – Solarization of around 10 lakh grid-connected solar powered agricultural pumps. This component will be implemented on pilot mode for 1 lakh grid connected agriculture pumps. Under this component, all the individual farmers will be given support to solarise pumps of upto 7.5 HP capacity. Solar PV capacity upto 2 times of pump capacity in kW is allowed under Kusum Scheme. Farmers can then use generated energy to meet irrigation needs while the rest of the available energy would be sold to DISCOM. This scheme is going to create an avenue to provide extra income to farmers and for the states to meet their RPO targets.

Both the pilot projects for component A & B will be scale up on success of pilot run while component B would be implemented in full-fledged manner.

Kusum Yojana Implementation

To effectively execute components B & C of the Kusum Yojana, the government will extend central financial assistance (CFA) amounting to 30% of the benchmark cost or tender cost (whichever is lower). Simultaneously, the state government will contribute a 30% subsidy, leaving the remaining 40% to be shouldered by the farmer. For the farmer's 30% investment, there will be available bank finance facilities, while the remaining 10% must be funded directly by the farmer.

In the case of North Eastern States, Sikkim, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Lakshadweep, and A&N Islands, the central government will offer 50% CFA. The Kusum Scheme is poised to make a significant environmental impact, leading to a reduction in CO2 emissions. The combined implementation of all three components is anticipated to save approximately 27 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Additionally, component B (standalone solar pumps) is expected to conserve 1.2 billion liters of diesel per year, resulting in associated savings in foreign exchange by reducing crude oil imports.

On these solar agricultural pumps, govt. would provide 60% of total cost as subsidy to all eligible farmers across the country.

Govt. Expands Kusum Scheme (Phase 2)

Through the PM Kusum scheme, the nation aims not only to phase out diesel-powered irrigation pumps but also to offer farmers an opportunity to generate additional income. Under the Kusum Yojana, farmers utilizing solar pumps powered by solar energy can sell surplus power to the state's power distribution units, thereby earning extra profits. While this scheme has been in place previously, the Renewal Ministry under the Central Government has set a target to expand its reach from 2021-22 to 2022-23.

The central government envisions the Kusum Yojna playing a crucial role in doubling farmers' income. This initiative is expected to reduce the irrigation costs for farmers while simultaneously creating avenues for additional income. The solar-powered pumps will be integrated into the local grid, enabling farmers to contribute excess power to the grid.

Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (Kusum) Scheme Approved by CCEA
