Solar Pump Subsidy Calculator (PM-KUSUM)
Calculate the subsidy split and your out-of-pocket cost for a solar agriculture pump under PM-KUSUM.
PM-KUSUM Component B standard structure: 30% central subsidy + 30% state subsidy + 30% bank loan, leaving ~10% farmer contribution (NE/hill states get higher central share). Subsidy applies to benchmark costs per pump capacity (HP); the loan portion is repayable — only the 60% is a grant.
Indicative planning figures based on published research averages. Local soil tests, varieties and weather change actual requirements — confirm with your agronomist or extension officer.

About Solar Pump Subsidy Calculator (PM-KUSUM)
PM-KUSUM puts a solar pump within reach by stacking support: in the standard Component B structure, 30% central plus 30% state subsidy are outright grants, a 30% bank loan spreads most of the rest, and the farmer brings only ~10% upfront. This calculator splits any benchmark cost into those four parts — and keeps them honest: the loan is repayable (size the EMI against your diesel savings), and subsidy applies to MNRE benchmark costs per pump HP, not arbitrary market quotes. For diesel-pump farmers, the economics are usually compelling: the ~10% contribution often repays within a year or two of diesel saved.

Frequently asked questions
How much subsidy do I get on a solar pump under PM-KUSUM?+
Typically 60% as grant (30% central + 30% state) plus a 30% bank loan, leaving about 10% as your contribution — on the benchmark cost for the pump capacity. North-eastern and hill states get a higher central share. Apply through your state nodal agency.
Is the solar pump loan also subsidy?+
No — the ~30% bank loan is repayable with interest; only the 60% government share is a grant. But diesel savings usually cover the EMI comfortably: replacing ₹40,000–60,000 of annual diesel typically clears a ₹90,000 loan within 2–3 years.
Is this tool free and private?+
Yes — free, no sign-up, and all calculation runs in your browser, so it works offline at the farm and your data never leaves the device.
