In short.
Component A: feeder-level solar plants (500 kWp–2 MW) on barren/farmland with PPA to DISCOM. Component B: standalone off-grid solar pumps (3–10 HP) for farmers without grid. Component C: grid-connected solarisation of existing electric pumps with surplus power exported to DISCOM.
Overview
India’s flagship farm-solar scheme — pumps, feeders and grid power
PM-KUSUM has three components. Component A solarises agriculture feeders at 500 kWp – 2 MW scale. Component B provides 30%+30% subsidy for standalone off-grid solar pumps (3–10 HP). Component C is grid-connected solarisation of existing pumps with surplus power sold to DISCOM. AgriMotion handles state-portal filing, MNRE-empanelled vendor coordination and end-to-end installation.

What are the three PM-KUSUM components?
Component A: feeder-level solar plants (500 kWp–2 MW) on barren/farmland with PPA to DISCOM. Component B: standalone off-grid solar pumps (3–10 HP) for farmers without grid. Component C: grid-connected solarisation of existing electric pumps with surplus power exported to DISCOM.
How much subsidy do I get for a solar pump under Component B?
Under PM-KUSUM Component B, farmers typically get 30% Central + 30% State subsidy + 30% bank loan + 10% farmer contribution. Effective upfront cost is around 10–40% depending on state. Some states (Haryana, Maharashtra, Rajasthan) offer enhanced top-ups.
Can existing electric pump be solarised?
Yes — that is exactly what Component C is for. Existing grid-connected pumps are solarised; energy consumed by the pump comes from solar, and surplus power is exported to DISCOM grid under net-metering, earning monthly income for the farmer.
Who installs the solar pump?
PM-KUSUM mandates MNRE-empanelled vendors for installation, with state-nodal-agency allocation. AgriMotion is positioned as an MNRE-empanelled EPC partner in select states and works with empanelled partners elsewhere.
How long does PM-KUSUM take?
Application acknowledgment 7–15 days. Sanction and vendor allocation 30–60 days. Installation and commissioning 30–45 days after material delivery. End-to-end 90–120 days from filing.
Is there income from feeder solarisation (Component A)?
Yes. Farmers leasing land for Component A solar plants typically earn ₹0.6–1.5 lakh per acre per year as lease rent, depending on state and tariff. The 25-year PPA secures long-term income with no operational responsibility.
