Chief Minister's Solar Powered Pump Sets Scheme
Under the Chief Minister's Scheme of Solar Powered Pump Sets, farmers in Tamil Nadu can install solar pump sets of 5 HP to 10 HP capacity with subsidy support covering up to 90% of the unit cost, funded jointly through state government contribution (40%), central government share (20%), TANGEDCO contribution (30%), with the farmer paying only the remaining 10%. The scheme reduces farmers' dependence on grid electricity (and associated outages/cost) for irrigation pump operation, while supporting climate-friendly renewable energy adoption in agriculture, implemented in coordination with the Agricultural Engineering Department and Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO).
View schemeMukhyamantri Saur Krushi Pump Yojana
Launched in January 2019 with a target of 1,00,000 off-grid solar agricultural pumps over three years, the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Pump Yojana provides farmers with assured water sources a heavily subsidised solar irrigation pump — the state subsidy covers up to 95% of the cost, with the farmer contributing a small share. Farms up to five acres are eligible for a 3 HP solar pump, while larger holdings can get a 5 HP set. Farmers with an existing conventional grid electricity connection for irrigation are not eligible, as the scheme targets farmers without reliable grid access. The solar PV panels carry a 10-year warranty and the pump system a 5-year warranty, reducing both energy costs and dependence on erratic grid power for irrigation.
View schemePEDA Solar Tubewell Subsidy (PM-KUSUM Component-B Top-Up)
Under Component-B of the central PM-KUSUM scheme, the Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) installs off-grid solar-powered irrigation pumps for farmers in place of diesel pumps. The Government of India funds 30% of the cost and the farmer normally pays the rest, but Punjab tops this up with an additional 30% state subsidy for general-category farmers (60% total) and 50% for Scheduled Caste farmers (80% total), cutting diesel dependence and irrigation running costs sharply. Applications are invited periodically by PEDA for installation of pumps of various capacities matched to the farmer's land and water source.
View schemeSaur Sinchai Yojana (Solar Irrigation Pump Scheme)
Saur Sinchai Yojana subsidises the purchase of solar-powered irrigation pump sets for farmers in Himachal Pradesh, reducing dependence on diesel pumps and grid electricity for irrigation. The scheme provides 90% financial assistance to small and marginal farmers, 80% subsidy to medium and large farmers, and 100% financial assistance when the pump set is procured by a group/cooperative of farmers. This significantly lowers the recurring cost of irrigation, especially valuable in areas with unreliable grid power.

Groundwater Vigilance: Why India Needs a Rigorous Water Audit Before Expanding Ethanol Blending
As India accelerates its ethanol blending ambitions to strengthen energy security and reduce fossil fuel dependence, environmental experts and agri-tech stakeholders are raising concerns about groundwater depletion in already stressed agricultural regions. A comprehensive water audit framework can help balance renewable fuel goals with long-term water sustainability, farmer resilience, and agricultural productivity.
