Rajasthan has achieved a major accomplishment by crossing 2,000 MW of renewable energy capacity under the PM-KUSUM scheme, driven by the installation of farm-based solar plants and the solarisation of agricultural pumps.

Implemented through Components A and C of the PM-KUSUM scheme, the progress includes grid-connected solar plants established on barren and semi-barren land under Component A, and the solarisation of existing grid-connected agricultural pumps under Component C. Together, these efforts have helped the state reach an installed capacity of approximately 2,001 MW.

The scheme has enabled farmers to utilise unproductive land for solar generation and sell surplus power to the grid, promoting both income diversification and energy self-reliance.

The PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme, launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), aims to install 30.8 GW of solar and other renewable capacity by 2026. Rajasthan’s performance under the programme positions it among the top-performing states, reflecting strong policy implementation and robust participation from local stakeholders.
