Benefits
Under the scheme, farmers receive an 80% subsidy on the cost of a solar pump set from the Government of India and the State Government, while the remaining 20% of the cost is borne by the farmer.
The scheme allows individual farmers to convert their diesel pump sets into solar pump sets of up to 7.5 HP capacity, which helps reduce expenditure on diesel and lowers production costs, thereby increasing farmers’ income.
