The Complete Guide to PM-KUSUM Subsidy in Bihar (2026)

Understanding PM-KUSUM in Bihar

The PM-KUSUM scheme is revolutionizing the agricultural landscape in Bihar by allowing farmers to install solar-powered pumps with massive government subsidies. If you are a farmer looking to reduce diesel costs and ensure reliable irrigation, this guide is for you.

What is PM-KUSUM?

Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) aims to add solar capacity and provide financial security to farmers. Under Component B, farmers are supported to install standalone solar agriculture pumps.

Eligibility in Bihar

To be eligible in Bihar, farmers must possess valid land documents and have an existing irrigation source. Preference is often given to small and marginal farmers.

Subsidy Structure

The government provides up to 60% subsidy on the cost of the solar pump. Additionally, banks offer 30% as a loan, meaning the farmer only pays an upfront cost of 10%.
