The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy on December 14, 2021 has issued Simplification of Guidelines for the implementation of PM-KUSUM.
The following was stated namely: -
• Due to insufficient vendors available for installation of standalone solar pumps, the states have been granted permission to invite their own bids for empanelment of vendors for different regions. However, the ceiling price for the bids would be the price discovered in the latest centralized tender.
• The period for implementation of the scheme has been extended to 24 months from the date of issue of sanction.
• The Feeder level solarisation scheme will be made optional to the farmers.
