“Kusum ka form kab khulega?” This is the question farmers in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh keep asking. Some missed the last round. Others paid a “registration fee” on a website and never heard back. Everyone wants to know one thing: can I still get a solar pump at a subsidy in 2026-27, and how much will I really pay?
The honest answer has a few parts. The first phase of PM-KUSUM stopped taking new work on 31 March 2026. Only projects that were already sanctioned are being finished now. The Centre says PM-KUSUM 2.0 is coming “very shortly”, but as of today it has not been launched.
This guide explains the current status, the three components, the subsidy split, what a 3 HP or 5 HP pump actually costs a farmer, and how to apply and check status in Jharkhand. It also shows you how to spot fake Kusum websites before you lose money.

Is PM Kusum Online Registration Still Open in 2026-27?
There is no single national registration for PM-KUSUM. You always apply on your state agency’s portal. Here is where things stand:
- Phase 1 is over for new work. The scheme ran until 31 March 2026. In August 2026, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said, “PM Kusum 1 has been completed. That scheme is closed and very shortly we may come up with the PM Kusum 2.”
- Old projects get extra time. In March 2026, MNRE allowed projects with an agreement or notice to proceed issued on or before 31 December 2025 to finish late. Single pumps (Component B and C-IPS) had until 30 September 2026. Solar plants and feeder projects (Component A and C-FLS) have until 31 March 2027.
- Loan deadline moved again. On 1 October 2026, MNRE extended the financial closure date for Component A and C projects to 30 November 2026. MNRE also said there will be no extension beyond 31 March 2027.
- PM-KUSUM 2.0 is not live yet. News reports say MNRE has sent a proposal of about ₹50,000 crore, with a 10 GW agri-PV (solar panels over crops) part and possibly battery storage. None of this is final.
Our reading: If your state portal is still showing a solar pump notice (Jharkhand’s JREDA uploaded one in August 2026), it is about the state’s already-sanctioned quantity. Fresh large rounds will most likely come only after PM-KUSUM 2.0 is approved. So there is no national “last date” right now. Watch your state agency’s portal, not social media.
What Is PM-KUSUM? The Three Components
| Component | What you get | Who can apply | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | A solar power plant up to 2 MW on barren or fallow land; you sell power to the DISCOM | Farmers, groups, cooperatives, panchayats, FPOs, water user associations | DISCOM buys power at a state-fixed tariff; DISCOM gets an incentive of 40 paise per unit |
| B | A standalone solar pump where there is no grid connection | Individual farmers, groups, FPOs | 30% central subsidy + state share |
| C (IPS) | Solar panels for your existing grid pump; sell extra power | Farmers with a grid pump | 30% central subsidy on the solar part |
| C (FLS) | The whole farm feeder is solarised; you get daytime power | Farmers on that feeder (DISCOM runs it) | Central support to states |
A few rules worth knowing:
- Under Component B, new solar pumps are not allowed in groundwater “dark zones”. There, only an existing diesel pump can be replaced, and only with micro-irrigation.
- Under Component C (IPS), the solar panel can be up to two times the pump’s capacity in kW, so you can sell the extra power.
- Under Component A, farmers can also lease their land to a developer and earn rent.

PM Kusum Subsidy: Who Pays How Much
| Situation | Centre | State | Farmer |
|---|---|---|---|
| General states (standard rule) | 30% | 30% | 40% |
| North-East, Sikkim, J&K, Ladakh, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Lakshadweep, A&N Islands | 50% | 30% | 20% |
| State gives no share | 30% | 0% | 70% |
Two important details:
- The central 30% is worked out on the benchmark cost or the tender cost, whichever is lower. So the real central share can come out a little under 30% of the price you see.
- Under the standard rule, a farmer can take a bank loan for 30% and pay only 10% upfront. The loan has to be repaid. It is not a subsidy.
Pump sizes: Individual farmers get the subsidy for pumps up to 7.5 HP. You can install a bigger pump (10 HP is common), but the subsidy stays at the 7.5 HP level. In 2022, the government allowed support up to 15 HP in North-Eastern and Himalayan states and for community farming in high water table areas, with a limit of 10% of the allocation.
PM Kusum Price List: What a Solar Pump Really Costs
Many websites promise a “PM Kusum price list PDF” for all of India. There is no single national price list today.
- MNRE benchmark costs: MNRE used to publish benchmark costs. The order of 25 July 2019 (on the national portal) lists, for general states, about ₹74,000 per HP for a 3 HP DC pump (about ₹2.22 lakh) and ₹66,000 per HP for a 5 HP DC pump (about ₹3.30 lakh). These are old figures and are useful only as a guide.
- State tender rates: Each state now fixes the price through its own tender. The state agency publishes the rates and the farmer’s share in a notice or PDF on its own portal. This is the only price list that matters for you.
- Guidelines: The full PM-KUSUM guidelines, dated 17 January 2024, are in the Documents section of the MNRE portal.
- GST cut: In August 2026, the minister said the GST cut on renewable equipment (from 12% to 5%) made a 5 HP solar pump about ₹17,500 cheaper.
Worked Example: What a Farmer Pays for a 3 HP and 5 HP Pump
We used the actual costs in JREDA’s Jharkhand notice: ₹2.16 lakh for a 3 HP pump and ₹3.18 lakh for a 5 HP pump. Then we applied the different rules you will meet across states.
| Rule | 3 HP (cost ₹2,16,000) | 5 HP (cost ₹3,18,000) |
|---|---|---|
| Central share at 30% | ₹64,800 | ₹95,400 |
| Standard rule: farmer pays 40% | ₹86,400 | ₹1,27,200 |
| Standard rule with bank loan | ₹21,600 now + ₹64,800 loan | ₹31,800 now + ₹95,400 loan |
| State gives nothing: farmer pays 70% | ₹1,51,200 | ₹2,22,600 |
| 75% subsidy rule (like Haryana): farmer pays 25% | ₹54,000 | ₹79,500 |
| Jharkhand actual (JREDA notice) | ₹7,000 | ₹10,000 |
What this tells you: The same 5 HP pump can cost a farmer anywhere from ₹10,000 to over ₹2 lakh, depending on the state’s top-up. For comparison, Madhya Pradesh’s 2026 table (as reported) shows a farmer share of ₹20,968 for a 3 HP submersible pump and ₹30,289 for a 5 HP one. Always check the farmer share on your state portal before you pay.
PM Kusum Jharkhand: Online Registration and Status Check
In Jharkhand, the scheme is run by JREDA (Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Agency). Jharkhand gives one of the highest subsidies in the country: about 96 to 97% in total (state about 71 to 72%, Centre about 25%), as per JREDA’s notice.
| Pump | Actual cost | Farmer pays |
|---|---|---|
| 2 HP | ₹1.80 lakh | ₹5,000 |
| 3 HP | ₹2.16 lakh | ₹7,000 |
| 5 HP | ₹3.18 lakh | ₹10,000 |
As of 31 October 2025, Jharkhand had 52,985 pumps sanctioned and 41,467 installed under Component B, as per a Rajya Sabha reply reported by Energetica India.

PM-KUSUM Progress So Far
As of July 2026 (minister’s figures reported by ANI), Component A had 1,986.3 MW installed against a 10,000 MW target. Component B had 11.69 lakh solar pumps installed out of 13.07 lakh sanctioned.

bar [13.07, 11.69, 16.54, 0.16]
What the chart tells you: Standalone pumps (Component B) and feeder solarisation did well. Solarising single grid pumps (C-IPS) barely moved: only 16,259 of 55,392 sanctioned. If your state offers C-IPS, expect slow processing.

- Land papers (khatauni, 7/12, jamabandi or land rent receipt, as per your state)
- Bank passbook
- Passport size photo
- Photo of your borewell or well (asked in Jharkhand)
- Domicile certificate (asked in Jharkhand)
- Caste certificate, if you claim a category benefit
Common Problems and Fixes

| Application not sanctioned | District quota full; first come, first served | Keep the application number and check status regularly |
| Rejected for “dark zone” | Groundwater over-used in your area | Only diesel pump replacement with micro-irrigation is allowed |
| Name does not match | Different spelling in Aadhaar, bank and land papers | Correct the records before applying again |
| Pump stopped working | Fault within the 5-year service period | Raise a complaint on the state portal |
Fake PM Kusum Websites: Read This Before You Pay
MNRE has warned many times that fake websites and mobile apps are taking money in the name of PM-KUSUM. They show an online form and ask for a “registration fee” or “pump booking amount”. The warning on the Jharkhand portal names sites like these (do not open them):
- kusumyojanaonline.in.net
- pmkisankusumyojana.co.in
- onlinekusamyojana.org.in
- pmkisankusumyojana.com
How to stay safe:
- The national site is pmkusum.mnre.gov.in. It gives information; it does not take farmer applications or fees.
- Apply only on your state agency’s portal (the table above). Most real state sites end in .gov.in.
- Pay the farmer share only after your state portal shows your application and the exact amount.
- Nobody from MNRE will call you to ask for money for “pump allotment”.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the PM Kusum Yojana official website?
The national website is pmkusum.mnre.gov.in, run by MNRE. You apply on your state agency’s portal, such as pmkusum.jharkhand.gov.in in Jharkhand.
Is PM Kusum online registration open in 2026-27?
Phase 1 ended for new work on 31 March 2026, and PM-KUSUM 2.0 has not been launched yet. Some states still show notices for their sanctioned quantity, so check your state portal.
What is the PM Kusum online registration last date?
No national last date has been announced for 2026-27. Already-sanctioned pump projects had until 30 September 2026, and solar plant and feeder projects have until 31 March 2027.
When will PM-KUSUM 2.0 start?
No date has been announced. The minister said in August 2026 that it will come “very shortly”, and reports say it may include a 10 GW agri-PV part.
Where can I download the PM Kusum price list PDF?
There is no single national price list now. Each state publishes its own rates and farmer share in a notice on its agency portal. MNRE’s old benchmark costs and the 2024 guidelines are on the national portal.
What is the PM Kusum price list for 3 HP and 5 HP pumps?
In Jharkhand’s JREDA notice, a 3 HP pump costs ₹2.16 lakh and a 5 HP pump ₹3.18 lakh. Prices in other states depend on their tender.
How do I do PM Kusum Jharkhand online registration?
Go to pmkusum.jharkhand.gov.in, register with mobile and Aadhaar, fill in land and water source details, choose the pump and pay the farmer share. Download the acknowledgement slip.
How can I do a PM Kusum Jharkhand status check?
Open the Track Application page on pmkusum.jharkhand.gov.in and enter your application number and mobile number.
How much does a farmer pay in Jharkhand?
As per JREDA’s notice, ₹5,000 for 2 HP, ₹7,000 for 3 HP and ₹10,000 for 5 HP. The government pays the remaining 96 to 97%.
How do I check PM Kusum status in other states?
Use the status option on your state agency’s portal with your application or beneficiary number. For example, Maharashtra uses the MSEDCL portal and Madhya Pradesh uses cmsolarpump.mp.gov.in.
Does PM Kusum charge a registration fee?
No real government portal asks for a separate registration fee. You pay only the farmer share shown on your state portal. Any website asking for a “booking fee” is likely fake.
What is the biggest pump size with subsidy?
For an individual farmer, the subsidy covers pumps up to 7.5 HP. You can install a bigger pump, but the subsidy stays at the 7.5 HP level.
