Shakti Pumps announced the receipt of its inaugural commercial order under the PM-KUSUM scheme Component-C from Ajmer Viduyt Vitran Nigam Limited for the total worth of INR 149.71 Crs. This significant achievement underscores India's commitment to harnessing solar energy and fostering sustainable agricultural practices creating Aatmnirbhar Bharat. The project involves replacing inefficient electric pump sets with BLDC Solar Pump sets, where the Pump set will run on Power Generated via Solar & surplus electricity can be sent to Grid.

This benefits farmers across India by enhancing irrigation capabilities, reducing reliance on traditional energy,and providing the opportunity to earn from surplus power sales to Discoms. The scheme benefits Discom's by enabling the purchase of electricity from farmers at INR 3 per unit and selling it at INR 6 per unit, fostering energy efficiency and national energy security thus reducing the tariff subsidy burden. This System will be installed locally & connected to DISCOM's distribution network & will result in reduction of T&D loss along with enhancing Grid Health. This will help Discom to meet their RPO obligation & reduce Carbon footprint by adding Solar.

This aligns with India's commitment to achieving 40% installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030. Grid connected to solar Pumping system will be capable enough to Perform simultaneous operations i.e. pump operations & energy export to grid at the same time hence more energy will be injected into grid & farmer will get more income, reduce environmental pollution, and modernize the agricultural sector. It signifies a substantial step towards prosperity for both farmers and the nation as a whole through the implementation of Micro Irrigation, ensuring Per Drop, More Crop ensuring good Produce quantity, good quality & good price of the farm produce.
