## ANSWER

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

(a)&(b) State/UT-wise status of implementation of the PM-KUSUM including decentralized solar plants commissioned and agriculture pumps solarised is placed at Annexure.

(c)to(f) As per approval of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), the ComponentA  covering  installation  of  grid-connected  solar  power  plants  up  to  2  MW  and  Component-C covering solarization of existing grid-connected agriculture pumps were initially implemented on pilot  mode  during  2019-20  under  PM-KUSUM  Scheme.    Ministry  has  conducted  third  party evaluation  of  the  pilot  mode.  Subsequently,  the  scheme  was  amended  to  include  feeder  level solarisation  (FLS)  as  a  new  variant  for  solarisation  of  the  existing  grid  connected  agriculture pumps. The FLS guidelines were issued in December 2020 and allocation of capacities to the States  for  FLS  was  made  thereafter.  PM-KUSUM  Scheme  is  being  implemented  by  the  state implementing agencies and no direct capacity has been allocated to the CPSUs. Based on demand received  from  the  States,  a  total  of  9.25  lakh  grid  connected  agriculture  pumps  have  been sanctioned under the FLS, which are at various stages of implementation. State-wise sanctioned quantity is given in Annexure .

A number of banks have issued lending guidelines for supporting projects under PM-KUSUM Scheme.

- (g) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is making efforts to achieve the targets under the Scheme. These inter-alia include creating awareness about the scheme among farmers, regular monitoring of the Scheme, issue of clarifications and amendments to the scheme guidelines based on lessons learnt during implementation and inclusion of all the three components under priority sector lending.
