The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued a clarification regarding Component-C (FLS) of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme, following queries received after the comprehensive guidelines were issued on January 17, 2024.
It has been confirmed that the requirement for indigenous solar cells (DCR) under Component-C (FLS) has been relaxed until March 31, 2024. This adjustment aims to facilitate smoother implementation of the scheme and provide flexibility to stakeholders involved.
Furthermore, several states sought clarification regarding the eligible Central Financial Assistance (CFA) under Component-C (FLS). The existing CFAs remain unchanged, standing at ₹1.05 crore/MW for the General States and ₹1.75 crore/MW for the North Eastern Region, Hilly Region, and Islands. These rates will persist until any updates are officially announced by MNRE.
State Implementation Agencies (SIAs) are urged to accelerate the execution of the scheme within their respective states and diligently monitor progress. This directive has been issued with the explicit approval of the competent authority within the MNRE.
The clarification underscores the commitment of the government to foster renewable energy initiatives, particularly in the agricultural sector, under the PM-KUSUM scheme. By addressing concerns and providing clear guidelines, the MNRE aims to ensure the effective and timely implementation of Component-C (FLS) across the country, thereby advancing the nation’s renewable energy goals.
