- (d) the number of farmers who have benefitted under PM-KUSUM since inception, State/UTwise including Telangana;
- (e) whether the Government maintains the record of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission that has been reduced as a result of implementation of PM-KUSUM; and
- (f) if so, the details thereof since the launch of PM-KUSUM, State/UT-wise?

ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a) Till 31.10.2022, a total solar capacity of 816.8 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 detail of solar capacity added under these two components is placed at Annexure-I .  No installation has been reported in the State of Telangana under the Scheme.
- (b)  A  total  of  4.72  lakh  standalone  solar  pumps  have  been  reported  installed  cumulatively  till 31.10.2022, including the solar pumps installed under PM-KUSUM Scheme. It is estimated that these pumps have resulted in reduction of 325 million liters in diesel consumption per annum.
- (c) 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. The state-wise detail of diesel agricultural pumps and standalone solar pumps installed is placed at Annexure-II.
- (d) The State/UT-wise number of farmers benefitted under all the three components of the PMKUSUM Scheme is placed at Annexure-III . No installation is reported in the State of Telangana.
- (e) &(f)  It has been estimated that there is a reduction of around 0.53 million tonnes per annum in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions on account of total solar capacity installed as on 31.10.2022 under all the three components of the PM-KUSUM Scheme. State/UT-wise estimated reduction in CO2 emissions is placed in Annexure-IV .
