I have 5 acres of agricultural land in Maharashtra with a borewell, but getting a grid connection for the pump is taking years. Can the PM KUSUM scheme help me?

Yes! Component-B of the PM KUSUM scheme is designed exactly for this. It provides a massive 60% subsidy (30% Central + 30% State) to install standalone off-grid Solar Agriculture Pumps. This means you only pay 40% of the cost. You do not need a grid connection at all, and it will run your borewell pump directly using solar power during the day. Apply through the MEDA (Maharashtra Energy Development Agency) portal.
