PM KUSUM
The PM-KUSUM Scheme is one of the most impactful government initiatives transforming India’s agricultural sector. By promoting solar energy for farming, it aims to reduce diesel dependency, lower electricity costs for farmers, and generate additional income through clean energy.
In 2026, the scheme is in full swing with massive targets for solar pump installations and grid-connected solar plants. However, success largely depends on reliable monitoring and compliance.
Understanding the PM-KUSUM Scheme
Launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), PM-KUSUM stands for Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan. The scheme is divided into three components:
-
- Component A: Setting up Decentralized Grid-Connected Solar Power Plants
-
- Component B: Installation of Standalone Solar Agricultural Pumps
-
- Component C: Solarisation of existing Grid-Connected Agricultural Pumps
Why PM-KUSUM is a Game Changer for Farmers
-
- Reduces electricity and diesel expenses significantly
-
- Provides additional income by selling surplus solar power
-
- Promotes sustainable and eco-friendly farming
-
- Supports India’s renewable energy targets
Challenges in PM-KUSUM Implementation
Despite its benefits, many projects face issues such as:
-
- Frequent pump and inverter failures
-
- Data reporting delays
-
- Network connectivity problems in rural areas
-
- Difficulty in monitoring water discharge (Component-C)
-
- Risk of subsidy rejection due to non-compliance
This is where advanced Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) become essential.
Role of Smart Monitoring in PM-KUSUM Success
A good monitoring system ensures real-time tracking, automatic reporting, and instant alerts. It helps maintain high Performance Ratio (PR) and ensures full MNRE compliance.
