## Installation of Solar Irrigation Pumps

(a) to (f) Till 30.06.2022, a total solar capacity of 691.4 MW has been added through installation of  standalone  solar  pumps  under  Component-B  and  solarization  of  existing  grid-connected agriculture pumps under Component-C of the PM-KUSUM Scheme. The State/UT-wise details of solar capacity added under these two components, including in the State of Tamil Nadu, is placed at Annexure-I.

Under Component-B, total 1,23,180 nos. of standalone solar pumps have been installed as on 30.06.2022, which is estimated to result in reduction of 85 million liters of diesel consumption per annum. As per All India Agricultural Input Survey 2016-17 released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, there are 11.2 million diesel agricultural pumps in the country. A total of 3.85  lakh  standalone  solar  pumps  have  been  reported  installed  cumulatively  till  30.06.2022, including the solar pumps installed under PM-KUSUM Scheme. The state-wise details of diesel agricultural pumps and standalone solar pumps installed is placed at Annexure-II.

The  State/UT-wise  number  of  farmers  benefitted  under  all  the  three  components  of  the  PMKUSUM Scheme, including in the State of Tamil Nadu, is placed at Annexure-III.

It has been estimated that a reduction of around 0.44 million tonnes per annum in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions is on account of capacity installed under all the three components of the PMKUSUM Scheme as on 30.06.2022. The state/UT-wise estimated reduction in CO2 emissions is placed at Annexure-IV.
