In what would expand the coverage of solar energy in rural areas, the Union ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) has raised allocation target for Rajasthan under component A and C of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM).
Chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma had written a letter to MNRE minister Prahlad Joshi requesting an increase from the current target to 550 MW under the two Kusum schemes.
As per MNRE’s new order, Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd has been allocated an additional target of 1,000MW, taking the total to 1,550MW. The Centre provides subsidies under the schemes. MNRE has issued an additional allocation of 1 lakh agricultural pumps to be solarised. This allocation is in addition to the 2 lakh pumps previously issued.
