Kisan Urja Yojana
Solar Power for Farmers - Earn & Save Together!
Install solar pumps with 90% subsidy or set up solar plants on barren land. Generate income while ensuring water security for your crops.
Scheme Overview
The Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) is a transformative scheme launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to promote solar irrigation pumps for farmers across India.
