These solar water pumps will be deployed under Component B of the PM-KUSUM scheme. Oswal Pumps' scope of work covers the design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of solar water pumping systems with capacities of 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP, along with a comprehensive system warranty and five-year repair and maintenance services. The systems will be installed at identified farmer locations across Maharashtra.

Vivek Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director of Oswal Pumps Limited, stated that the project will directly benefit nearly 6,869 farmers in Maharashtra, reducing their dependence on grid electricity and diesel for irrigation, thereby lowering input costs and carbon footprint.

The PM-KUSUM scheme, promoted by India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, aims to promote the use of solar energy in the agricultural sector. This large-scale deployment of solar water pumps will help Maharashtra advance the application of renewable energy in agricultural irrigation.
