Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
Notes: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) has achieved only 30% of its targets so far, raising concerns about meeting its 2026 deadline. It was launched in 2019. PM-KUSUM aims to reduce diesel use in farming, ensure water and energy security, boost farmers' incomes, and reduce environmental pollution. The goal is to add 34.8 GW of solar capacity by March 2026. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy oversees the scheme.
