PM-KUSUM 2.0 may be aligned with farm schemes: Renewable energy secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi

The government plans to expand PM KUSUM to include incentives for modern irrigation practices among farmers. This expansion will encourage the use of solar-powered water pumps and promote remunerative crops. The ministries of renewable energy and agriculture are collaborating to align this initiative with existing schemes. New components such as agrivoltaics will also be integrated in the next phase.
