In the past year, approximately 29,000 farmers in Rajasthan have benefited from solar the pump scheme, designed to provide clean energy through solar-powered pumps. The scheme allows for installing solar pumps with capacities of 3, 5, 7.5,and 10 horsepower (HP). However, an official said subsidies are available only for pumps up to 7.5 HP. Over the past five years, the state government has installed over 131,000 solar pumps, focusing on areas where farmers lack electricity access and rely on diesel-powered pumps or other alternatives for irrigation.
The achievement also highlights the growing scale of India’s renewable energy ecosystem. As of March 2026, India’s total installed non-fossil fuel power capacity reached 283.46 GW, bringing the country closer to its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Increasing investments in solar manufacturing, transmission infrastructure, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) are expected to further accelerate deployment while improving grid reliability and energy security.
With solar installations continuing at a record pace, India is steadily strengthening its position as a global renewable energy powerhouse. Surpassing the United States in annual solar additions marks a major milestone for the country’s clean energy ambitions, demonstrating its ability to scale renewable energy infrastructure while supporting economic growth, energy independence, and long-term sustainability goals.
