- HAREDA runs PM KUSUM Haryana; you apply via Saral Haryana.
- The state stacks a high ~75% farmer subsidy (estimate — verify with HAREDA).
- Haryana focuses on Component B standalone solar pumps.
- You empanel with HAREDA, then win a pump tender on L1 price.
- Budget for the EMD, PBG and the 5-year O&M on every pump.
Haryana is one of the most attractive states for PM KUSUM Haryana solar pump work. The state pays a high farmer subsidy, demand is steady, and the rules are clear. This guide shows EPCs who runs the scheme, how the money stacks, and how to win and deliver the work.
What PM-KUSUM in Haryana is
PM-KUSUM in Haryana is the state's roll-out of the national PM-KUSUM scheme for solar farm power. The scheme has three components. Component A funds small grid-connected solar plants on farm land. Component B funds standalone solar pumps for off-grid farmers. Component C solarises existing grid-connected pumps. Haryana's main push is Component B.
For a farmer, the scheme swaps a diesel or grid pump for a solar pump. For an EPC, it is a steady stream of small, repeatable installs across rural Haryana. The state runs the whole process through one nodal agency and one citizen portal, which keeps the path simple once you know it.
Who runs PM-KUSUM in Haryana
HAREDA — the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency — runs PM-KUSUM in Haryana as the state nodal agency. HAREDA writes the tenders, empanels the vendors, sets the subsidy share and approves the installs. If you want PM KUSUM Haryana work, HAREDA is the body you deal with.
The portal and the DISCOMs
Farmers and vendors apply through the Saral Haryana portal at saralharyana.gov.in. Saral Haryana is the state's single citizen-service window, and PM-KUSUM applications flow through it. The state's two power distribution companies — UHBVN (Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam) and DHBVN (Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam) — handle the grid side, mainly for Component C.
So the chain is short: HAREDA sets the scheme, Saral Haryana takes the applications, and the DISCOMs handle any grid work. Always confirm the current process and any new portal step with HAREDA before you act on it.
Why Haryana is attractive for solar pump EPCs
Haryana is attractive because the state pays a very high farmer subsidy on solar pumps. The central CFA and a large state share are stacked, so the farmer often pays a small share. A commonly cited figure is a ~75% farmer subsidy — but treat that as an estimate, and verify the current figure with HAREDA or the latest MNRE order.
A high subsidy means more farmers say yes, so the pipeline is deeper than in states where the farmer pays more. Haryana has also awarded large pump volumes in past rounds — a figure like ~24,484 pumps is sometimes quoted. That award count is again an estimate; verify the current numbers with HAREDA or the live tender before you plan crew capacity around it.
Component B is the main opportunity
Haryana's volume sits in Component B standalone solar pumps. These are smaller, repeatable jobs, which suit an EPC with a trained field crew. If you can install pumps cleanly and at volume, Haryana rewards you with steady tenders and a strong demand base.
How the farmer subsidy stacks in Haryana
The PM KUSUM Haryana farmer subsidy stacks three parts: the central CFA, the state share, and the farmer share. The national scheme sets a base of central financial assistance, the state adds its own top-up, and the farmer pays the rest. Haryana's large state top-up is why the farmer share can fall so low.
Under the national PM-KUSUM design, the central CFA is one part, the state government adds a matching share, and the farmer pays a remaining percentage. Haryana raises its state share well above the national floor, which pushes the farmer subsidy toward that ~75% headline. The exact split changes by order and tender round, so the percentages below are an estimate you must verify with HAREDA.
Subsidy split by pump size (estimate)
The table below shows a rough, illustrative split of who pays what across the standard Component B pump sizes. Every value is an estimate. The real central, state and farmer shares are set by the live HAREDA tender and the latest MNRE order — confirm them before you bid or quote a farmer.
How an EPC gets PM KUSUM Haryana work
An EPC gets PM KUSUM Haryana work in two steps: empanel with HAREDA, then win a solar pump tender. You cannot bid until HAREDA has empanelled your firm, and you cannot install a subsidised pump until you have won a tender allocation. Both gates matter, so plan for both.
Step one: empanel with HAREDA
Empanelment is HAREDA's check that your firm can deliver. You submit your company papers, technical capacity, past work and the required documents through the HAREDA or Saral Haryana route. Watch the HAREDA site for the empanelment window, because it opens for set periods. The exact document list and fees are set by HAREDA, so verify them on the live notice.
Step two: win a tender on L1
HAREDA floats tenders for batches of pumps by size and district. Most awards go to the lowest compliant price — L1. You quote a per-pump price, post the EMD, and if you win you sign for the allocation and post the PBG. Price tightly but realistically, because the 5-year O&M and the subsidy claim cycle both sit inside that one price.
EMD and PBG in a Haryana pump tender
Two money instruments gate every PM-KUSUM tender: the EMD and the PBG. The EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) is a refundable bid bond you post when you submit. It stops frivolous bids and is returned to losers. The PBG (Performance Bank Guarantee) is the performance bond the winner posts after award.
The PBG usually covers the install and the full 5-year O&M term, so it stays live for years. If you fail to deliver or to service the pumps, HAREDA can claim the PBG. The exact EMD and PBG amounts are set in each tender — they are a percentage of the contract value — so read the live HAREDA tender and confirm the figures before you bid.
Pump sizes, DCR and ALMM
PM-KUSUM Haryana covers the standard Component B pump sizes: 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 HP. The size is matched to the farmer's land, crop and water depth. A tender usually asks for a mix of sizes by district. The exact sizes in any round are set by the live HAREDA tender, so confirm them before you order stock.
DCR and ALMM rules
The panels and pumps must meet two compliance rules. DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) means the solar cells and modules must be made in India. ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) means you can only use modules from the government's approved list. Buy only DCR-compliant, ALMM-listed gear, or your install can fail inspection and stall the subsidy claim.
The 5-year O&M obligation
Every PM-KUSUM Haryana pump comes with a 5-year operation and maintenance obligation on the winning EPC. You do not just install and walk away. You must keep each pump running, fix faults, and meet uptime terms for five years after commissioning. The PBG backs this, so a missed service can cost you the bond.
This changes how you bid. A pump price that ignores five years of site visits, spares and breakdowns will lose you money over the term. Build the O&M cost — travel, parts, labour and a buffer — into your per-pump quote from the start. The farmers are spread across rural Haryana, so plan your service routes too.
Common follow-ups EPCs ask
A few questions come up on almost every Haryana project. Quick answers below; always confirm the current detail with HAREDA.
- Can one empanelment cover all districts? Tenders are often district- or batch-wise, so you bid per allocation. Verify the tender scope with HAREDA.
- Who selects the farmer? Farmers apply on Saral Haryana and are sanctioned under the scheme rules; HAREDA assigns demand to vendors per tender.
- When does the subsidy pay out? The central CFA and state share release after install, inspection and claim — not upfront. Plan your working capital around that lag.
- Is the ~75% subsidy fixed? No. It is an estimate that changes by order and round. Verify the live share with HAREDA before you quote any farmer.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs PM-KUSUM in Haryana?+
HAREDA, the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency, runs PM-KUSUM in Haryana as the state nodal agency. Farmers and vendors apply through the Saral Haryana portal at saralharyana.gov.in. The state DISCOMs are UHBVN and DHBVN. Confirm the current process with HAREDA before you apply.
How much is the PM-KUSUM Haryana farmer subsidy?+
The PM-KUSUM Haryana farmer subsidy is often cited around 75%, because the central CFA and a high state share are stacked together. That figure is an estimate only. The split between central, state and farmer share changes by order, so verify the current subsidy with HAREDA or the live tender.
How does an EPC get PM-KUSUM Haryana work?+
An EPC gets PM-KUSUM Haryana work by empanelling with HAREDA and then winning a solar pump tender, usually on lowest price (L1). The tender sets the pump sizes, the EMD and the PBG. Watch the HAREDA site and Saral Haryana for live tenders and the empanelment window.
What pump sizes does PM-KUSUM Haryana cover?+
PM-KUSUM Haryana covers the standard Component B pump sizes of 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 HP, matched to the farmer land and water needs. Pumps and panels must meet DCR and ALMM rules. The exact sizes in any round are set by the live HAREDA tender, so verify before you bid.
Is there an O&M obligation in PM-KUSUM Haryana?+
Yes. PM-KUSUM Haryana requires the winning EPC to run a 5-year operation and maintenance period on every solar pump installed. The PBG usually backs this O&M term. Price the 5-year service cost into your bid, because the obligation outlasts the install by years.
