- (a) & (b) The PM KUSUM Scheme is a demand-driven scheme, and capacities are allocated based on the demand raised by the state and milestones achieved. State Implementing Agencies (SIA) are empowered for beneficiary selection and further implementation of the scheme at district level. The Ministry does not allocate special targets for the constituency/districts under this scheme.

As reported by the SIAs of the state of Uttar Pradesh, as on 28.02.2026, a total of 295.38 MW of solar capacity has been installed in Uttar Pradesh state under PM-KUSUM scheme. The progress  under  PM-KUSUM scheme in Uttar Pradesh  state  and  that  of  Domariyaganj  and Hamirpur Lok Sabha constituency is placed at Annexure I .

- (c) Under PM KUSUM scheme, the gestation period is 24 months from the date of sanction. With ongoing implementation work in the states, it is expected that most of the capacities will be commissioned in year 2026. New scheme, PM KUSUM 2.0 is under consideration.
