## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF  STATE  FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER

## (SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK)

(a) & (b) Yes, The PM-KUSUM scheme is being implemented with the objective to provide energy security, de-dieselisation of the agriculture sector and enhancing income of farmers. It is a demand driven scheme and the capacities are allocated based on demand received from the States/UTs. As per the demand raised by the State of Maharashtra, the Ministry has allocated 260 MW under Component A, 5.05 lakh pumps under Component B and 7.75 lakhs pumps under Component C to the state. There is no demand received from UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.  The State/UT wise progress under PM KUSUM, including State of  Maharashtra, is placed at Annexure-I.

The district wise progress in the state of Maharashtra, including Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, as provided by SIAs, is placed at Annexure II.

- (c)  PM  KUSUM scheme was launched in March 2019 and suffered initial  setbacks  due  to COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions. Subsequently,  under Component A and Component C, the delays were largely due to the unavailability of low-cost finance, requirement of collateral by banks, land-related bottlenecks, etc. Under Component B, the main challenge has been the non-availability of timely and adequate state share. Some states have also taken time to conclude tenders, leading to delays in installations.

To address these issues, Ministry has taken proactive steps and now all the components are included under AIF which allows access to low cost financing to farmers. Additionally, the Ministry  issued  simplified  and  comprehensive  revised  guidelines  in  January  2024,  which address the issues related to land, state share and other technical challenges.
