Notes: Maharashtra Chief Minister announced free electricity for 80% of farmers in the state by December 2026. The government plans to generate 16,000 megawatts (MW) of solar power to provide 12-hour daytime electricity. This is part of the Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Yojana (MSKY), a state initiative to promote solar-powered farming. MSKY includes off-grid solar pumps and decentralized solar projects for irrigation. The scheme aims to reduce power subsidies, cut pollution by replacing diesel pumps, and promote sustainable agriculture. It also helps ease the financial load on other electricity consumers while making farming more eco-friendly
