In the rural village of Kanwarpura, Rajasthan, this doctor turned solar entrepreneur is using the KUSUM Yojana to boost his income by 200 times while providing clean energy to the farming community.
The village of Kanmarpura was struggling with a water crisis when Amit Singh decided to seek out a modern solution for his deteriorating farmland and hence became the first person in India to generate income by selling clean energy to DISCOM using the PM- KUSUM Yojana.
Amit was always fascinated by the concept of electricity and had already powered his clinic back in the village with a grid solar power system. So when PM KUSUM Yojana provided him with an opportunity to diversify his dream, He didn’t hesitate.
But it was not easy for Amit, being the first person he had his fair share of challenges regarding arranging finances and getting necessary help.
But Amit firmly believes that clean energy is the way forward and the new Yojana can bring income to a lot of farmers with barren lands and can further provide beneficiary to the community.
Equipment Cost breakdown (excluding the cost of land)
Solar Panel - 2 cr

[@nishantmishra2939]

As far as I understood, One drawback in KUSUM is "Fixed Rate purchase for 25 years". Electricity tarrif is getting costlier day by day but farmer will get fix rate for 25 years. So Discom should share the profit with farmer as well.

[@mandeepashiya2229]

@@liladevi3169 if you buy solar panels for any use, there is a warranty that panels would retain atleast 80% of energy generation capacity as compared to initial days (solar panels degrade slowly with time) so if you are making on avg 5 units per kw panel on day1, after 25 years it will be around 4 units per kw. Hence panels are still usable albeit with slightly less output. after 25 years you can use them for personal purpose or can sell them to any private factory owners incase govt doesnt renew the contract. However one major thing to watch out for is that after 25 years, solar and other renewable energy technologies will be much advanced and therefore renewal of the ppa has really low chances.

Yaha par har ek political party influence hoke har saal farmers ki electricity bills clear kar deti hai. Aise bohot cases hai. Isiliye Agar Ye plant maharashtra me laga bhi diya jaye phir bhi electricity grid par dalne ke baad mahadiscom se payment aana ye bohot bada risk hai. Kyunki businessman ke to 4 karod rupye lage huw hote hai.

💵💵🤑4,00,000 a month which is 48 lacks a year and the agreement is for 25 years with fixed income so you make 12 cores 💰💰. Your ROI ( return on investment is 7 years). So overall it is an low risk investment 😀 but heigh capital.

the water in fish pond should cool the solar panel if it was under them.

I think on the contrary, the mpisture can speed up rusting of the structures which hold the panel.

Wonder why a person is earning 4 lakhs per month but still no material luxury in his vicinity? The cost is so high that for initial 10 years he is making no profit. The cost includes cost of the land, the equipment, the maintenance and opportunity costs (implicit costs). Good luck to him.

Good initiative but profit should be more, or gov should provide subsidies or low interest loans for installation. It took almost 8 9 years to recover the capital investment and with the time efficiency of solar panals are decreases. At the current stage its better to FD the capital amount u will get double amount than this.🙂

Total income from this plant would be Around 13-14 cr in 25 years. And initial cost would be around 5crore. Not a bad Idea. But iitna pessa nahi hai logo kei pass...!!! We have around 10 acres of land but without proper funding it's all just a Drem 😑

[@ArpanMukhopadhyay93]

This is India and things aren't as simple as it looks. In a village in Karnataka, there are grid connected PV water pumps owned by many farmers as part of a scheme. The grid to the pumps is shut down to prevent farmers from exporting power. This shuts down the pump too. The electricity distribution companies don't have money to pay to the distributed producers in many states of India

[@biondisubbaiah]

Exactly, not to mention the initial cost is astronomical to most farmers 😳

F.d. for 3.5 cr could be almost 10 percent per year which means he will get 35 lacks per annum without any problem and his principl amount is completely safe And he is earning 4lacks p/m means 48 lacks per annum and his whole farm land is coverd I don't think this is comparatively better option for investing this much amount .He could possibly get more income by using his money for other option.

[@studyupscorg]

This is a great scheme for transitioning to renewable energy but in terms of farmer welfare it is not effective. As small farmer cannot afford that kind of capital investment and banks asks for collateral. Also there are so many terms & condition which make this scheme inaccessible to small farmer. So at this moment it is only helping farmer who are already well off and have enough disposable income. To help small farmers the government need to create a dedicated body which would as act as a facilitator between farmer and discoms. This body should also ensure that collateral requirement is kept bare minimum.

3.5Cr interest on loan would be anywhere between 10-16% p.a. i.e. approx 4L per month, + Land cost rental approx 30-50k p.m + maintainence expenses p.m. + fixed earning for 25 years means no inflation included i.e in future loss Earning 4L p.m. Total earning is less than the expenses The only positive thing is clean energy, rest this is a bad investment

[@Hrshsngh_19]

Nope. The interest that you mentioned is totally incorrect. Government gives you subsidies on green energy and the land rental is also optional, anyone who is going for this will have his own land. You should do your research before barking in comments.
