‘1,190MW decentralised solar plants in last 1 yr’

Rajasthan has emerged as a leading state in India's decentralised solar energy push, making rapid progress under the PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme.

- HT Correspondent

Official data showed that Rajasthan has developed 592 decentralised solar plants with a total capacity of 1,190 megawatts (MW) in just one year. This has taken the state’s cumulative capacity to 1,305 MW across 684 plants — making it a national hub for decentralised solar power.

An official release said the sharp rise in decentralised solar capacity is driven by the focused implementation of two key components of the PM-KUSUM scheme. Under Component-A, which allows grid-connected plants of up to 2 MW, Rajasthan has installed 457 MW across 354 plants. In Component-C, which supports grid-connected plants up to 5 MW with central subsidy, the state has added 848 MW through 330 installations.
