PM Surya Sarovar Yojana: Cabinet approves Rs 5,070 crore scheme for floating solar projects
New Delhi, July 31: The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi today approved the 'Pradhan Mantri Surya Sarovar Yojana (PM-SSY), a Scheme for the development of Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FSPV) Projects with Energy Storage Systems (ESS) with a total outlay of Rs.5,070 crore. The scheme envisages the development of 5,000 MW of Floating Solar Photovoltaic projects with co-located Energy Storage Systems having a minimum storage capacity of two hours i.e.,10,000 MWh. The projects will be sanctioned during FY 2026-27 to FY 2030-31, with disbursement of financial support continuing up to FY 2032-33. The approval follows the recent assessment undertaken by the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE), which has estimated a floating solar potential of approximately 102.18 GWp across reservoirs and other suitable inland water bodies in the country. Under the scheme, Central Financial Assistance (CFA) of Rs. One crore per MW will be provided for eligible Floating Solar Photovoltaic projects after successful commissioning. In addition, CFA of up to Rs.50 lakh per project will be available for undertaking feasibility studies, including bathymetry and hydrography assessments, environmental studies, and other preparatory activities required for de-risking the project development. All States and Union Territories will benefit through this scheme. The scheme would enhance the floating Solar PV capacity in the country by 5,000 MW, which is presently around 700 MW only. These projects would provide an opportunity to gainfully utilize existing reservoirs & industrial ponds, and eliminate competition for scarce land resources. The integration of an energy storage system will help strengthen grid reliability. The scheme would help in the reduction of around 10 million tonnes of CO emissions annually. It would help in the generation of approximately 16,00017,000 full-time equivalent employment opportunities across the project value chain. The scheme would also promote domestic manufacturing of floatation systems as well as the entire value chain of the projects, like PV cells, modules, energy storage systems, etc., and support the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The scheme will contribute to renewable energy capacity addition, support the achievement of national energy and climate objectives, and facilitate optimal utilisation of water resources while advancing the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Over the past decade, the Government has undertaken transformative reforms across the upstream sector, including opening almost the entire offshore acreage for exploration, modernising the legislative and contractual framework, and strengthening the National Data Repository.

Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri, supported by the Alliance for Change, Transformation & Innovation (ACTION), will convene the 3rd National Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards 2026 on August 7 at the India International Centre, New Delhi. Themed Krishi Samriddhi 2047: Building a Resilient & Self-Reliant Agriculture Ecosystem , the summit is structured across two tracks: Track 1 on Dairy, Nutrition, Fisheries & Livestock, and Track 2 on Crops, Inputs, Technology & Rural Value Chains. Dr. Ramdas Athawale, Union Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, with fellow dignitaries at the 2nd Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards 2025 The theme draws on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for value addition in India's dairy sector, spotlighted recently through India's four-medal debut at the Mundial do Queijo do Brasil 2026, and Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah's cooperative renaissance, which is adding 75,000 new dairy cooperatives under White Revolution 2.0 and 6,000 new fisheries cooperatives under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. The Summit is the ninth in a series of national and regional dialogues Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri have convened since 2024: two previous national editions in Delhi and six regional consultations across states including Bhopal, Chandigarh, Nagpur, Patna, Baraut and Alwar. Together, these editions have brought together over 1,000 delegates and 120+ speakers, spanning policymakers, scientists, cooperative leaders, industry executives, startups and farmers, and have generated 190+ documented best practices and award-winning initiatives from across India's agricultural ecosystem. Each edition has fed grassroots insights into formal policy recommendations submitted to central and state governments, positioning the platform as a sustained channel between the field and the policy table rather than a one-off conference. " This platform exists because India's agricultural story cannot be told from one vantage point alone ," said Dr Navneet Anand, Executive Director, Sustainability Matters . " Krishi Samriddhi 2047 brings dairy, fisheries and livestock into the same conversation as crops, inputs, technology and rural markets, because the transformation we are chasing runs across all of these value chains, not through any one of them in isolation ." The 3rd edition is supported by partners across sectors, including Indian Railway Finance Corporation (a Navratna CPSE), Bihar State Milk Co-operative Federation Limited (COMFED), Odisha Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Limited, SIRA Seeds, Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL), Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), and Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO). " Agriculture touches every one of us, whether we grow it, process it, fund it, regulate it, or simply eat it, and that shared stake is exactly why each of us carries a responsibility to be part of this discourse ," said Dr K C Ravi, Director General, Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards . " The Summit exists to make that participation possible, bringing policymakers, cooperatives, scientists, industry and farmers to the same table so solutions are shaped collectively rather than in silos , he added. India's dairy output has grown 70% in eleven years - from 146 to 239 million tonnes - even as livestock and fisheries expand at nearly 7% and 8-9% a year, among the fastest-growing segments of the rural economy. Track 1 builds on this momentum, examining cooperative-led growth across dairy, nutrition, fisheries and livestock. Track 2 turns to the crops-and-value-chain economy - seeds and sustainable inputs, regenerative farming, and the technology and market infrastructure connecting farms to consumers. The Summit is part of a continuing effort by Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri.in, India's leading digital platform for agricultural news and analysis, to drive sustained, solution-oriented conversations on the issues shaping Indian agriculture, from climate resilience to rural finance and cooperative governance, bringing diverse stakeholders into direct dialogue rather than parallel monologues. The day includes an inaugural session and track-wise knowledge sessions, culminating in the Sustainable Agriculture Awards 2026, recognising individuals, institutions, cooperatives, companies and government bodies across 44 categories for measurable contributions to India's agricultural ecosystem.
