Solarisation of Grid Pumps & Feeders

Financial Structure30% to 50% Central AssistanceExisting Grid-Tied Agriculture Feeders

Solarizes existing grid-connected agricultural pumps (both Individual Pump Solarisation and Feeder Level Solarisation - FLSS). Farmers meet all daytime irrigation needs from solar and sell surplus electricity back to DISCOM.

Feeder-level solar plants dedicated to agriculture
30% to 50% Central financial assistance (CFA)
Earn revenue by feeding surplus power to the grid
Relieves DISCOM from massive agricultural power subsidies
Who Can Participate

Built for Every Kind of Participant

Individual Farmers & Landowners

Monetize fallow, uncultivated, or barren farmland. Either develop a 0.5 MW to 2 MW plant independently or lease land to developers for ₹25,000 - ₹50,000/acre annually with guaranteed escalation.

FPOs, Cooperatives & Panchayats

Farmer Producer Organisations, primary agricultural credit societies, and water user associations can collectively pool land to build large utility-scale solar projects and generate community dividends.

Solar Developers & Institutional Investors

Partner with local farmers and landowners under Component A to build, finance, and operate 0.5 MW - 2 MW ground-mounted plants backed by 25-year sovereign DISCOM off-take contracts.
